I'm new to the list (and new to WiX). I've built a few installs, but I have
a new one that is giving me fits.

 

Can anyone share with me (or point me to a resource or disabuse me of false
notions) how I can set a property (not a Directory property) a user browsed
for (it's a mapped drive)? Why would I want to do this? I need to enable the
user to browse for a second path and then use that path to set a registry
value (no files are installed in this second location during the
installation). Where I'm stuck is updating the property with what the path
the user browsed for. I an error about the property not being in the
Directory table.

 

 

I've tried two things (using resources found online), but I've failed at
both of them.

1.       I used a directory browse dialog, but I got the error about the
directory not being in the directory table.

2.       I tried to set a directory property, but I then got an error about
the drive not being local.

 

I'm sure I'm missing something.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Amanda Mallinger
