Using a WiX property from a browse dialog

问题

I'm developing a setup project using WiX, and I have the following problem. I get a directory path from the user using the Browse dialog, and I need to put this path in web.config. The problem is that in web.config that puts the value in "WWWMain" and not the path chosen by the user.

This is my code:

Product.wxs

<Property Id="IISLOGDIRECTORY" Value="WWWMain" />

Dialog.wxs

<Control Id="IISLogDirectoryEdit" Type="PathEdit" X="45" Y="100" Width="220" Height="18" Disabled="yes" Property="IISLOGDIRECTORY" Indirect="yes" />

Installation.wxs

<util:XmlFile Id="ModifyIISLogDirectory"
           Action="setValue"
           Permanent="yes"
           ElementPath="/configuration/appSettings/add[\[]@key='isslogdirectory'[\]]/@value"
           File="[INSTALLLOCATION]Web\Web.config"
           Value="[IISLOGDIRECTORY]"/>

回答1:

Declare the variable in Dialog.wxs itself but after the control

Example

<Control Id="DiffBackUpEdit" Type="PathEdit" X="120"  Y="157" Width="160" Height="18" Property="IISLOGDIRECTORY">
</Control>
<Control Id="Browse12" Type="PushButton" X="290" Y="157" Width="56" Height="17" Text="Browse">
    <Publish Property="_BrowseProperty" Value="DIFFDBBACKUPLOC" Order="1">1</Publish>
    <Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="BrowseDlg" Order="2">1</Publish>
</Control>

Then at bottom in same page after add

<Property Id="IISLOGDIRECTORY" Value="C:\Database\MDM"/>
