[wix-users] Components installed in dependent directories

Easy answer is to have the user select the root install dir, so in your case C:\Application, and then you simply have A and B as directories nested under it.

Subject: [wix-users] Components installed in dependent directories

Hi,

  I have to implement a trick where the Installer creates a 2nd directory based on the name of the INSTALLDIR.
Let’s say that the user installs a component A in c:\Application\ComponentADIR. I need a trick to install component B under c:\Application\ComponentADIR_demo. Both ComponentA and ComponentB are installed at the same time.
  Is there a syntax I can use to accomplish the installation of ComponentB under this constraint?

Thank you,
  Calin
