[wix-users] custom destination directory

[shashank khadse]

Hello Jacob,
Try something like this ....

  <Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="SUBDIRECTORY" />

  <Fragment>
            <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
                   <Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder">
                    <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="MYFOLDER">
                        <Directory Id="MYINSTALLDIR" Name="MYINSTALLDIR">
                          <Directory Id="SUBDIRECTORY" Name="SUBDIR">
                          </Directory>
                        </Directory>
                    </Directory>
                </Directory>
            </Directory>
  </Fragment>

Make sure that the Dierctory Ids are in uppser case to ensure that it is
accessible throughout the installation.

Hope this answers your query .
