You'd have to change ProductFolder to PRODUCTFOLDER and then pass msiexec /i foo.msi PRODUCTFOLDER=
BTW, I disagree strongly with installers that have no UI by design. It's trivial for you to put a reference to WiXUI in your installer and then add /QN at the command line if you really want to skip the UI. Having someone double click an MSI and it just takes off with absolutely no indication of what it's going to do and whether it did it or not is crazy IMO.

I tried defining my directories like this: <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="ProductFolder" Name="TestSetupFolder"/> </Directory> ... </Directory> and overriding by setting the TARGETDIR from command line like this: msiexec /i c:\myInstaller.msi TARGETDIR=c:\someFolderName. This had no effect. Any ideas on how to accomplish that?
