Hi Peter, I tried this but it still is not working:
<SetDirectory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Value="$(var.PlatformProgramFilesFolder)\Measuresoft\[ProductName]" Sequence="both"/> Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: 14 September 2012 15:27 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] set the name of a directory via the SetProperty element The Value needs to be a full path. Incidentally, <SetDirectory> would be more appropriate. -----Original Message----- From: Natalie Carr [mailto:natalie.c...@measuresoft.com] Sent: 14 September 2012 15:12 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] set the name of a directory via the SetProperty element Hi I am trying to set the name of a directory via the SetProperty element as follows: <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="$(var.ProductName)" > <SetProperty Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Value="[ProductName]" After="CostInitialize" Sequence="both"/> Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong please as I keep getting an error of 1606?
