My project is Basic MSI.

I am using the CustomSetup dialog, that allows the user to change the location of the install directories for a feature.

When the user modifies the path (it shows it has changed on the Custom Setup window), then continues and installs, the files are not installed to this changed path.

Is there an event I have to add to get this new path to be used? Currently, the ChangeFolder pushbutton just has on event:

Event Argument Condition
SelectionBrowse InstallChangeFolder 1

I have 3 features, each one installing to a different directory (I created 2 additional entries in the Directory Table, INSTALLDIR2 and INSTALLDIR3).

Each feature has a different destination (INSTALLDIR, INSTALLDIR2 and INSTALLDIR3)

Any help would be appreciated.

What's in the _BrowseProperty? If its INSTALLDIR then the dialog will change thew value of INSTALLDIR. Any component that uses INSTALLDIR as destination should install to the selected directory. You can generate a verbose log file to see those values.

Found it...

I had set the destination on the feature, but the components didn't have the same destination..

That resolved it.
