Hi,

I have 3 features in my product. I install the 1st feature in D:\ XYZ folder. When I run the installation again and choose the modify option and try to install the second feature, I see that the destination folder is pointing to the default destination folder i.e C:\Program Files\<<product name>> and not to the folder D:\XYZ where I had installed the first feature.

Can someone tell me why this is happening and how can I make it to point automatically to the directory where I installed the first feature ?? I need to install all my features under the same parent folder.

All my components' destination have been set to INSTALLDIR\
(except for a few which point to System folder)

Thanks
Sadiq

Hi Sadiq,

I just recently overcame this exact same problem.  I found the solution by searching these newsgroups so I won't repeat but search for ARPINSTALLLOCATION and you'll find many useful questions and answers.

Hope this helps,
Joe

sadiq, good luck.

I'm been fighting this problem for months now. Nobody from this site or Installshield has ever responded to my problem. Our freind Joe has offered a great suggestion that is the closest thing you'll find to a solution.

This apparantly isn't a bug, so this must be a new improved "feature".
