[wix-users] Error while setting predefined variables

[Anil Kumar]

Hi,
I have checked the MSI using orca. I didnt find any entry for these
variables(ProgramFilesFolder, CommonFilesFolder, etc...).

I am not sure why these variables are missing, do I have to add it anywhere?


fyi.. I have a script which will define installation location during
runtime. Due to this issue, installation is happening in user's directory
only([LocalAppDataFolder]).

    <SetProperty Id="WIXUI_PERMACHINE_INSTALLDIR"
Value="[ProgramFilesFolder]DS\$(var.Product_Name)" Before="CostInitialize"
/>
    <SetProperty Id="WIXUI_PERUSER_INSTALLDIR"
Value="[LocalAppDataFolder]DS\Programs\$(var.Product_Name)"
Before="CostInitialize" />

Thanks
