You'll have a variable for the path
<Variable Name="InstallFolder"
Value="[ProgramFilesFolder]<companyname>\<productname>" Persisted="yes"
bal:Overridable="yes" Type="string" />
Which you pass to your MSI using MSIProperty. Assuming you use INSTALLDIR as
your directory Id in your MSI, as is commonly used, it looks like this:
<MsiProperty Name="INSTALLDIR" Value="InstallFolder" />
The content of @Value is a burn expression so it is evaluated.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Remove Options button from Burn?
A related question: how do you support the option to change the installation
directory? I'm guessing its passed to the msi as a variable? I'm sure it's
probably easy, but my google skills are failing me :-).
