I'm using what appears to be the standard XML for a WiX install. Generally things work like expected for the defaults. Sometimes I would like to install on another drive but, use the standard directory. What seems to be right idea is to specify TARGETDIR=D: on the msi command line:
nonsenseInstaller.msi TARGETDIR=D: /log=Install.log
Typically ProgramFilesFolder is set to: C:\Program Files (x86)\
Below is my WiX XML, pretty standard stuff. What is happening is that ProgramFilesFolder already has C: baked in. Is there a standard WiX way to override this with TARGETDIR? (Or another command line property?)
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'>
<Directory Id='Draeger' Name='Dyer Heavy Industries'>
<Directory Id='APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY' Name='Build Tools'></Directory>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder">
<Directory Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder" Name="New Build Email"/>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="FontsFolder" SourceName="Fonts Folder"></Directory>
</Directory>
