I have taken over MSI production for my sins and would like an explanantion of the proper process for what I'm trying to do.
The business has requested that a SQL log file location be defined and a browse buton added to a dialog to select it, to match the one used to define the SQL database path. So, I created a property LOGLOCATION and gave it a path as its value. Then, once the label/text box (doesn't matter which, but business prefers label...) and browse button were added to the dialog, selected the LOGLOCATION property for the label/text box. That all seemed to work, except when I actually USED the browse button, then clicked OK. I got "Internal error 2727" which is "The directory entry '[2]' does not exist in the Directory table"
OK, I'll use an already-defined property (DATALOC) for the label. Er, no, that property doesn't appear in the 'Property' drop-down list in 'Setup Editor/Dialog' when I double-click the label/text box.
As a kludge (which works) I added LOGLOCATION to the Control and ControlEvents tables, copying the entries for DATALOC.
So, should I simply have added LOGLOCATION in the Directory and CreateFolder tables, instead of the Property table? Do entries in Directory "become" properties which can be accessed in the Dialog Editor?

Yes, entries in the Directory table become properties. You should add LOGLOCATION to the Directory table, maybe with a parent of DATALOC to make the default value follow the value of DATALOC.

I am also currently working on the same issue, i had the entries in the directory table with a key and a default dir but nor any parent dir. The problem is when i am browsing a new directory location and having that value to the path edit, still the key in the directory table shows the default dir path. Is there any thing i should do, please help me
Thanks in advance
