All,

When I am selecting Modify during the maintenance install mode, the screen navigation goes fine, however say for eg I change the INSTALLDIR path, and continue with the installation, and once the installation is over, I dont see the files delivered to the newly selected target path? It still resides in the older path.

What am I missing? Where to start debugging?

Please help, Its very high priority for me.

I'm not %100 sure that you can do that.

A modify usually add/removes features, and re-custom actions, but I've never seen it re-install products in a new installation directory.

You can't change the location of already installed components in maintenance mode. This is a design limitation in Windows Installer. You need to uninstall and then install to the new location.
