[WiX-users] Trying to keep it simple...WixUI_InstallDir error 2343

[gapearce]

I'm trying to use WixUI_InstallDir as my UI, and when I do, and compile it,
and run it, I get the following message in the MSI log:

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.
This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2343. The
arguments are: , ,

Please see the attached MSI log file. It shows that INSTALLDIR is correct
(I am assuming, from other posts, that INSTALLDIR is the offending variable.
If I use WixUI_Mondo, there is no problem, and I don't get this error).

How can I fix this problem? How does one specify the PathText for this
dialog?

Thanks ahead of time...

Have you set
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLDIR" />
?

Aw man! Pally! You rock!

Thanks for the quick response - That fixed it!

I was confused by the tutorial here:

http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson2.php

I put "<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="TOP_LEVEL_DIR" />"
because I saw in this tutorial that it was needed if I used
WixUI_InstallDir!

There is an asterisk next to "WixUI_InstallDir" specification on this
tutorial page.

Section 2.3 says:
*Note that if you use this dialog set, you'll have to provide an extra
property somewhere in your source:
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="TOP_LEVEL_DIR" />"

So maybe I'm missing something, or the tutorial is wrong, but no worries
now!

Thanks!

In the tutorial, TOP_LEVEL_DIR is a placeholder for the directory's name
that is the "top level directory" of your installation.

Thanks - that makes sense.
