Wix installer wrong path to the users folder
If you're encountering a problem with a Wix installer where the installer is using the wrong path to the user's folder, you can try specifying the correct path using a WiX property.
Here's an example of how to use a WiX property to specify the correct path to the user's folder:
xml<Property Id="USERPROFILE" Value="[%USERPROFILE]" />
You can include this property element in your WiX source code, typically in your main WiX .wxs file or in a shared .wxi file.
In this example, %USERPROFILE
is an environment variable that contains the path to the user's profile folder. The [%USERPROFILE]
syntax is used to evaluate the environment variable value at runtime.
By specifying the correct path to the user's folder using a WiX property, you can ensure that your installer uses the correct path and avoids any issues caused by using the wrong path.
