It's hard to be specific, but it looks like the dialog you're using with its
BrowseFolder result is not propagating the user input to TARGETDIR or
INSTALLFOLDER.

Subject: [WiX-users] Installing outside ProgramFilesFolder

Hi

I have a requirement to use C:\MyApp as the default installation directory
rather than being user Program Files (x86).

I also give the user the opportunity to specify a different directory.

I'm using:

<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLFOLDER" />

<SetProperty Id="INSTALLFOLDER"  Value="[WindowsVolume]\MyApp"
Before="AppSearch"/>

<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
  <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
    <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="MyApp"> At install time, the correct
default directory of C:\MyApp is displayed (assuming the Windows volume is
C:).

However, if I specify a different directory (eg C:\MyApp2) during the setup
then the default C:\MyApp is still used.

How do I get this to work so that it defaults to C:\MyApp but the user
supplied directory, if specified, is used?

Thanks
Gavin
