WiX: Changing the path of a directory does not change the path of a sub directory?

Question

I have a WiX installer that includes this declaration of directories:

Answer 1

Did you try using custom actions?

You can use one of these custom action to change the property value during install:

1. a custom action which changes the directory property value scheduled before CostFinalize
2. a type 35 custom action which changes the directory path (should be scheduled after CostFinalize)

For example:

<CustomAction Id="ChangeDir" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER" Value="[SomeValueorPropertyhere]"/>

2.Schedule the action during the InstallExecution phase (must be after the CostFinalize step):

<Custom Action="ChangeDir" After="CostFinalize"></Custom>
