Cool. Thanks. However I got it working late last night with your second suggestion. So once again Thank You! This works.... Added a Set Product Bean Property action that sets the root bean's installLocation. Bean ID: Bean7 Active: True Product Bean ID: bean45 Product Bean Property Name: installLocation Value: $P(absoluteInstallLocation)\myApp I am ont 100% sure wht changing installLocation after the destination dilaog also changes the absoluteInstallLocation. But it does work. Thank you Robert! Bradley

Okay I gave this a try. No joy. absoluteInstall Location remains unchainged from what I set it to in the Destination Dialog. I set the Wiard Action just after the Destionation Dialog. Maybe I got it wrong? Bean ID: Bean7 Active: True Product Bean ID: bean45 Product Bean Property Name: absoluteInstallLocation Value: $P(absoluteInstallLocation)\myApp Bean45 is the top most bean in my Product tree an displays the product name.

For example, if the product's install location is C:\Somewhere and a component's install location is subdir, files in that component will be installed to C:\Somewhere\subdir... Well I have tried this but I am still able to install to c:\. Our system test guys have flaged this as a show stopper. No I can keep most of the components out of the root but _jvm can still end up one folder above C:\MyApp\. Bradley

Thanks Robert but this is for an existing install with many already defined features, components and custom actions. So is there a way to reset the install path property to append a folder name afyer the destination dialog? I was looking at doing this in the destination dialog events but this does not work in silent mode (as it does not look like silent mode sets that path; which makes sense in most cases.) Bradley

Is there a simple way to modify the install path to add a folder The default install dir for my installer is "C:\Program Files\MyCompany\MyApp". Is there a way to modify the install path so that no matter what the customner selects the installer will still install to "Customer's selected Path\MyApp" ??? Thanks, Bradley

I was wondering about a custom action to display an animated gif of a progress bar. I might be able to display it for n-seconds or maybe a custom action to display it when the external execute starts and then another custom action to stop the display after the custom action ends. Bradley

I changed the button from a myString tabel string to just flat text 'Print' and that seemed to fix the problem. Bradley

So it must be $P(absoluteInstallLocation) causing the problem? Bradley

My installer has a print button added to the license dialog. On most machines this print button works fine but, on some machines the text for the print button does not display and the button appears blank. This has been reported on one Windows Xp US, a few WindowsXP German installs and several Japanese Windows XP machines. The text for this button is setup in the MyStrings table as english only but, the installer is currently only using english as I have not added anything to the Language Support. Thanks, Bradley

From what I've heard, the Execute Process action does funny things with quotation marks in/around a single argument... With out the /qr it works fine.
