[wix-users] How to set default Directory value?

[Souren]

Hi,

ConfigurableDirectory is set properly in the feature tag.
The problem is not ConfigurableDirectory. actually if user is configuring
directory, then the feature is installed in new directory without problem.

Problem comes when I am trying to obtain the new value of configured
directory. this gives me the value which I set in SetDirectory instead of
new value.
