dynamically setting installdir based on the value of an appsearch
hi all,
i have the following requirement:-
do an xml app search and based on the value returned set the installdir.
therefore if the value returned for the appsearch is "Server" then i dont need to do anything and the files all get installed to D:\DATA\RCORE
If the value is "NOTFOUND" then i need to change the value of installdir to C:\Program Files\RCORE.
any ideas how to let the msi know how to dynamically change the installdir based on an app search?
all ideas welcome!

I can't see why you couldn't do this with conditioned Custom Actions...

set the app search to INSTALLDIR2
Create a Set Directory CA which has a condition that matches the VALUE of INSTALLDIR2
