Default Install Directory ALWAYS chooses the "highest" Letter Partition during Install
Updated: 23 May 2010 | 1 comment
Hi all,
My Install project seems to be going great except for a few minor things...
My main problem is that when the user is presented the screen that has the install directory to accept or change, it ALWAYS has the highest letter drive choosen as the default.
(If I have 3 partitions: C, D, X - the screen will show: X:\Program Files\blah blah)
How can I have it choose the lowest letter drive (usually C drive) without having to hard code C into the Directory table?
Thanks in advance!

Set the ROOTDRIVE property
to C:\ then you won't have this problem anymore. The windows Installer always attempts to install a package to the partition / drive that has the most (free) space. To override this behaviour, set the ROOTDRIVE property to the partion / drive that you want to install to on default.
Cheers
Phil
