Hi, Here is the bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=3419080&group_id=105970
The above bug was causing me lots of headaches - this bug is still not fixed in the last 3.6 beta, and I can't spend time on building WiX from source. Without this fix I can't use the Options button to set the installlocation, because the textbox can't be filled in with the proper default value. (BTW, this bug also happens on Windows Server 2003, not just XP.) Until a new release I have to use a workaround: I do util:RegistrySearch in my Bundle to find out the location of the 32bit ProgramFilesFolder. ------ <util:RegistrySearch Id="RegistrySearch64" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" Value="ProgramFilesDir (x86)" Variable="PlatformProgramFilesFolder"/> <util:RegistrySearch Id="RegistrySearch32" After="RegistrySearch64" Condition="Not ProgramFilesFolderOn64BitOS" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" Value="ProgramFilesDir" Variable="PlatformProgramFilesFolder"/> <Variable Name='InstallFolder' Type="string" Value='[PlatformProgramFilesFolder]\$(env.MANUFACTURER_NAME)'></Variable> ------- Then I add an MsiProperty element as a child of MsiPackage: <MsiProperty Name='InstallFolder' Value='[InstallFolder]' /> In the individual MSI installers I conditionally set ProgramFilesFolder depending on whether InstallFolder was set (N.B. the property name here changes to all capitals) : <SetProperty Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Value="[INSTALLFOLDER]\$(env.MY_PRODUCT_NAME)" Before="CostFinalize">INSTALLFOLDER</SetProperty> Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
