Formatting Problem
I'm trying to display the [PersonalFolder] path in a dialog text control. It works fine except where the personal folder name has a special character in it. i.e. - If the name of the folder is xxx&yyy the text is displayed as xxxyyy. I'm assuming the text is reading the & as a control character to underline the following character. Is there some way to convert the [PersonalFolder] path to an exact string without formatting?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

For your Text control, perhaps switch the No Prefix attribute? The MSI help topic "Text Control" says a few words about it.
