Hello Patrick,

 

The ROOTDRIVE is MSI property, not environment variable. See for example at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367988%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Hi Rafael,

 

Thank you for your response.

 

How do I use the ROOTDRIVE variable?

 

Do I set ROOTDRIVE as an environment variable prior to calling the MSI? If so and I always want the C drive, do I set:

 

ROOTDRIVE=C

or  

ROOTDRIVE=C:

 

Thank You for your quick response.

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

 

Yes, this is the default behavior of Wix/InstallShield that the disk with the most space is picked up for installation.

You can override this behavior by directly specifying ROOTDRIVE variable during installation using msiexec.

Hi,

 

The Squid Windows installer defaults to F:\squid on my machine where I have a C,  D (CD),  E (Windows created Recovery Disk) and F (My USB Backup Drive). Why did the installer pick the F drive by default? I’m writing an installer that wraps around the squid msi installer and this causes problems that I do not think I can control. I thought it would always default to C:\Squid. Maybe it is selecting the drive with the most space as my F drive is?

 

Any help or guidance here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Diladele for producing this installer.

 

Best,

Patrick
