Sorry, I forgot to include the code in my custom action:
MsiGetProperty(hInstall,L"SUPPORTDIR",NULL,&bufferSize);
installDir = (wchar_t*)malloc((bufferSize+1)*sizeof(wchar_t));
MsiGetProperty(hInstall,L"SUPPORTDIR", installDir, &bufferSize);
This is what I've got right now. However, if I try out output,
SUPPORTDIR, it's empty.
