Installation dir location, .msi author

Hi !

First of all .. a great product ..

Now some questions .. :)

1. Is there any way to prevent the user from selecting the install folder while allowing the user to select features ? (I haven't read the MSI specification through so this may be a stupid question) We wrote a series of VBScripts that gets installed with the msi. However being these VBScripts we need to register some properties and set some registry settings using an attached costum action but the parameters seems not to honor the variables [TARGETDIR] and so on .. So we are stuck and must specify an explicit path ... Is there any way to get around this ?

2. Just a minor thing ... Why in the properties of the built .msi file there is an entry Last Saved By that states : Doriel Pislan ? Ok this does not bother me much however ... Just for curiosity ...

Best regards ...

Oops, our bad. That property should be set to NULL in a shipping database.

Will be fixed in the next release (1.9).
