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 ... View more

RobertDickau wrote: I haven't tried it, but perhaps a Set Product Bean Property action that sets the root bean's installLocation (or absoluteInstallLocation) property to the current value plus your subdirectory name? 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.

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 ... View more

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 ...

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.
