Does the user have 2 separate browse dialogs during installation? -----Original Message----- From: Amanda Mallinger Reinartz [mailto:a...@metafile.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2014 3:18 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Use Path from BrowseDlg to Set Registry Value (Not the Install Path)
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!
