The other thing you will have to do is to save the path in your MSI (e.g.
In the registry) and then retrieve it in your bundle so that on an upgrade
the previous path is restored e.g.:
<Variable Name="InstallFolder" Type="string"
Value="[ProgramFilesFolder]<company>\<app>" Persisted="yes"
bal:Overridable="yes" />
<util:RegistrySearch Id="PreviousInstallFolderSearch" Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\<company>\<app>" Value="savedPath"
Variable="PreviousInstallFolder" />
<util:DirectorySearch Path="[PreviousInstallFolder]"
Variable="InstallFolder" After="PreviousInstallFolderSearch"
Condition="PreviousInstallFolder" />
