I'm trying to set INSTALLDIR from a registry key according to the article "MSI Tip: Setting ISNTALLDIR Based on a System Search" from InstallShield Tips and Tricks.
Its not working. My files always go to the default directory, but I need them to be installed to C:\CompanyName\ProductName -- its a legacy product.
The registry key I'm pointing to is there.
I also tried to use the WHERE_ISDEV_IS exactly as written and that's not putting any files in the isdev.exe directory, either.

Open to suggestions.

Dont use WHERE_ISDEV_IS,its totally not reliable, instead you could use a function something like
function SetinstallPath() begin //using reggetkey or similar function read the sting (path) into a variable svValue
MsiSetproperty(IS_HANDLE,"INSTALLDIR",svValue); //above code will set the value of svValue to INSTALLDIR. end;
