What I ended up doing was extracting the location of the Executing Assembly which is the same location where the EULA is placed.
If you can think off a better way of doing it please let me know. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/52797/how-do-i-get-the-path-of-the-assembly-the-code-is-in Thanks, Carlos From: Carlos Hdz Taylor Sent: Wednesday, June 5, 2013 8:32 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Thanks Nicholas, and how can I get the path for that? If I look at a Process Monitor capture, I can see that when I execute the EXE installer the EULA file is copied to the following location: C:\Users\carlos\AppData\Local\Temp\{e9b77076-6fdf-4281-a8c3-7efed6bf46b7}\.ba1\EULA.htm But when my code (button action) executes it tries to get the file from the location where the EXE installer is located (Desktop). C:\Users\carlos\Desktop\EULA.htm My code looks like this: public RelayCommand LicenseTermsCommand { get { if (licenseTermsCommand == null) { licenseTermsCommand = new RelayCommand(() => Process.Start("EULA.htm")); } return licenseTermsCommand; } } Thanks, Carlos From: Nicholas Pierce Sent: Wednesday, June 5, 2013 3:54 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. If it's a payload in your BootstrapperApplicationRef, then it'll be extracted to the same directory as the burn engine and your Managed BA assembly, so you should be able to get the path from that.
