Summary: WixUI_InstallDir generates error 2819

Initial Comment:
When using WixUI_InstallDir, clicking Change on the
Destination Folder dialog generates 'an unexpected
error' with error code 2819. This does not happen with
WixUI_Mondo.

In WiX.chm do a search for WIXUI_INSTALLDIR.
I took me also some time before i found it in the chm 
file :-)

WIXUI_INSTALLDIR must be a property, not a directory. See
WiX.chm for details. So it looks like:

<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
  <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles">
    <Directory Id="TESTFILEPRODUCTDIR" Name="WIXTEST"
LongName="Test File">
      <Component ...>
      </Component>
    </Directory>
  </Directory>
</Directory>

<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="TESTFILEPRODUCTDIR" />
<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" />

No, I was using INSTALLDIR, as recommended by the WiX
Tutorial. Setting it to WIXUI_INSTALLDIR generates an error:
error LGHT0205 : ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'Environment'
is Directory: 'WIXUI_INSTALLDIR'. The Directory/Component
pair must be listed in the CreateFolders table.

By the way, where is WIXUI_INSTALLDIR documented?

Have you set WIXUI_INSTALLDIR to the directory you want the
dialog to control? If not, you need to do so. If so, please
attach a verbose log because I can't reproduce it with the
current WiX build.
