Are you saving and retrieving ARPINSTALLLOCATION ? If not, you need
something like the following. In this example, the product installation
directory is called INSTALLDIR.
<Property Id="ARPINSTALLLOCATION">
<RegistrySearch Id="GetARPInstallLocationFromRegistry" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductCode]"
Name="InstallLocation" Type="raw"/>
</Property>
<!-- Write install dir to ARP. -->
<CustomAction Id="SetARPINSTALLLOCATION"
Property="ARPINSTALLLOCATION" Value="[INSTALLDIR]"/>
<!-- Set INSTALLDIR to registry version else default if not found.
-->
<CustomAction Id="LoadINSTALLDIR" Value="[ARPINSTALLLOCATION]"
Property="INSTALLDIR"/>
<InstallUISequence>
<Custom Action="LoadINSTALLDIR"
After="AppSearch">ARPINSTALLLOCATION</Custom>
</InstallUISequence>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="LoadINSTALLDIR"
After="AppSearch">ARPINSTALLLOCATION</Custom>
<Custom Action="SetARPINSTALLLOCATION" After="CostFinalize">not
Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

Subject: [WiX-users] Path name shows wrong on custom setup when I
clicked'change' after install.
Hi,
I created an installer and it works generally fine but I have one
issue that I can't resolve.
Here is what happens.
After the user installs the program in a different location other than
default location and when s/he wants to change something, they go to
Add or Remove Programs and there they select my program with 'change'.
Then, the installer gives three options: change, repair, or remove.
There if the user selects the 'Change', the installer displays Custom
Setup page. However, the path it displays on the bottom is not the one
that they installer my program but the default path.
How can I control this path display to show the actual install
location? Any advice will be appreicated. Thank you very much.
YEH
