Of course I did not see it :-( Thank you for that hint! It sounds quite good - I will try that one. Perhaps a description with the relation to %SystemDrive% or perhaps the same name would be a good idea instead of ``WindowsVolume``... but perhaps I am wrong and that name is already good ;-)
If that works, then I can use this for burn and the environment variable %SystemDrive% for Msis. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Gesendet: Montag, 24.

Did you see the Burn variable WindowsVolume ? Is that what you need ? -----Original Message----- From: Christian Hausknecht [mailto:chauskne...@beracom.de] Sent: 24 September 2012 12:42 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Getting the Name of the system drive within Burn or WiX? Hello folks, As the subject already shows, I need to know the drive letter of the system drive within a burn-bundle or a Msi-Package (I am not already sure, where exactly I will need it, but I definitely need it). I looked at the page of the predefined burn variables, but I did not find anything helpful. (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/bundle_built_in_variables.htm) After I googled a while I found this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/810273/how-can-i-get-the-system-drive-lett er So obviously there is an Environment-Variable which holds this information. But I could use that one only within a Msi-Package afaik. So for a burn bundle that would be no solution. So my question is: Is there a good way to solve this issue? And if there is no universal way, what would be the best practices for realizing that for the two different cases?
