I have an MSI file that is installing a folder with a bunch of files inside it. I have a location that I am putting the files in: Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\MyFolder Windows 7: C:\Users\Public\Documents\MyFolder The issue is that I do not want to hardcode these paths, but no matter where I look I cannot find out how to do this, because everywhere I look they are talking about making shortcuts for all users and that is not what I am trying to do. How can one install a folder to an "All Users" location? Something like this: <PropertyRef Id="WIX_DIR_COMMON_DOCUMENTS

I currently have a Visual Studio Deployment project for creating an MSI for my applicaiton, and I'm porting over to a WiX installer. The VS Installer used a library with Custom Install Actions that inherited from System.Configuration.Install.Installer, e.g.: [RunInstaller(true)] public partial class MyCustomInstaller: Installer { } How do these equate to Wix actions? I figure that in general, WiX allows you to run custom actions after an install. Are these just executables? In my case, the custom Install Actions I have are classes in a DLL, not an EXE. How can I execute these from my WiX
