Thanks Dave, With the custom action the dual mode setup works in most scenarios - But... Does not work for the following Install base setup UI mode - in per machine context. Next do a silent install for the upgrade setup. We receive a UAC prompt to remove the cached msi ( for the base install) and it does get removed. However when the upgrade msi starts installing we receive Error 1925: You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users on the machine. Login as administrator an then retry this installation.
This is a showstopper and most used workflow. Any and all help appreciated.

You have to remember that and tweak the ALLUSERS/etc before FindRelatedProducts. I wimped out and wrote a customaction.

The below is from the browse dialog that shows up when user clicks on browse. <Dialog Id="MyBrowseDlg" Width="370" Height="270" Title="!(loc.BrowseDlg_Title)"> <Control Id="PathEdit" Type="PathEdit" X="25" Y="202" Width="320" Height="18" Property="_BrowseProperty" Indirect="yes" /> <Control Id="OK" Type="PushButton" X="240" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUIOK)"> <Publish Event="SetTargetPath" Value="[_BrowseProperty]">1</Publish> <Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return">1</Publish> </Control> Below is the code from the InstallDirDlg that has the path once the user selects the install location. I have excluded a few line which are not required. <Dialog Id="MyInstallDirDlg" Width="370" Height="270" Title="!(loc.InstallDirDlg_Title)"> <Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUINext)" > <Control Id="Folder" Type="PathEdit" X="20" Y="100" Width="320" Height="18" Property="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Indirect="yes" /> As you can see the browse_property holds the path the user selected. In the UI.wxs where you sequence all your dialogs: <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="SetTargetPath" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder" Property="_BrowseProperty" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish> Probably you can do the same for your other dialog too . -----Original Message----- From: Amanda Mallinger Reinartz [mailto:a...@metafile.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2014 4:05 PM To: 'General discussion about the WiX toolset.'
