Component installation directory
Hi,
Any ideas how to retrieve the installation path for component X at run-time after user changes "feature" installation path in Custom Setup?
Thanks.

As you know, a component's path will change only if the feature and component have the same public Directory-table property.
Knowing that, it depends how you want to get and use that property value. You can use [DIRECTORY_PROP_NAME] in many places in your installation, or use something like MsiGetTargetPath or MsiGetProperty to get the value in code.
