Hello, I'm trying to install program files and configuration files.
On Windows 7, files in the c:\Program Files tree can't be modified, so I'm installing the config files in c:\ProgramData. WIX won't let me. All the WIX Directory examples I've seen have a SINGLE directory chain under PFiles: <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles"> <Directory Id="JetrionFolder" Name="Jetrion"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="Ink Usage Calculator"/> </Directory> </Directory> ... What I want to do is have a second directory chain: <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles"> <Directory Id="JetrionFolder" Name="Jetrion"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="Ink Usage Calculator"/> </Directory> </Directory> <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder"> <Directory Id="JetrionMenuFolder" Name="Jetrion"> <Directory Id="ApplicationMenuFolder" Name="Ink Usage Calculator"/> </Directory> </Directory> <Directory Id="DesktopFolder"/> <Directory Id="ConfigDir" Name="ProgramData"> <Directory Id="JetrionDir" Name="Jetrion"> <Directory Id="INKUSECONFIGDIR" Name="Ink Usage Calculator"/> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> where the ConfigDir is c:\ProgramData..., and I use the INKUSECONFIGDIR id to indicate where to place the files: <DirectoryRef Id="INKUSECONFIGDIR"> <Component Id="InkConfigWhite" Guid="A6E79454-202A-4203-B2DF-A6D03FCE7012"> <File Id="InkConfigWhite" Name="InkConfigWHITE.xml" DiskId="1" Source=".\src\InkConfigWHITE.xml" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> ... But the files don't end up in C:\ProgramData\Jetrion\Ink Usage Calculator\... What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
