[WiX-users] Error code 2727 when selecting path in PathEdit control

[Kevin L. <kl...@ze...>]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to WIX but was unable to find a solution online. I'm trying
to save a PathEdit path to the registry. Once I get to the dialog under
question, the path to the Documents folder is displayed properly, but I am
unable to proceed to the next dialog or change the path with the Change
button. The error code is 2727.

I specified the property:

    <Property Id="SAVEDIR" Value="PersonalFolder" Secure="yes" />


 I used the following dialog scheme:

      <Dialog Id="SaveDirDlg" Width="370" Height="270"
Title="!(loc.SaveDirDlg_Title)">
        <Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Default="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUINext)" />
        <Control Id="Back" Type="PushButton" X="180" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Text="!(loc.WixUIBack)" />
        <Control Id="Cancel" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Cancel="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUICancel)">
          <Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="CancelDlg">1</Publish>
        </Control>

        <Control Id="Description" Type="Text" X="25" Y="23" Width="280"
Height="15" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes"
Text="!(loc.SaveDirDlgDescription)" />
        <Control Id="Title" Type="Text" X="15" Y="6" Width="200"
Height="15" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes" Text="!(loc.SaveDirDlgTitle)"
/>
        <Control Id="BannerBitmap" Type="Bitmap" X="0" Y="0" Width="370"
Height="44" TabSkip="no" Text="!(loc.SaveDirDlgBannerBitmap)" />
        <Control Id="BannerLine" Type="Line" X="0" Y="44" Width="370"
Height="0" />
        <Control Id="BottomLine" Type="Line" X="0" Y="234" Width="370"
Height="0" />

        <Control Id="FolderLabel" Type="Text" X="20" Y="60" Width="290"
Height="30" NoPrefix="yes" Text="!(loc.SaveDirDlgFolderLabel)" />
        <Control Id="Folder" Type="PathEdit" X="20" Y="100" Width="320"
Height="18" Property="SAVEDIR" Indirect="yes" />
        <Control Id="ChangeFolder" Type="PushButton" X="20" Y="120"
Width="56" Height="17" Text="!(loc.SaveDirDlgChange)" />
      </Dialog>

The rest of it reads:

            <Publish Dialog="SaveDirDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="InstitInfoDlg">1</Publish>
            <Publish Dialog="SaveDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="DoAction"
Value="WixUIValidatePath" Order="1">NOT WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH</Publish>
            <Publish Dialog="SaveDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="SpawnDialog"
Value="InvalidDirDlg" Order="2"><![CDATA[NOT WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH AND
SAVEDIR_VALID<>"1"]]></Publish>
            <Publish Dialog="SaveDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="VerifyReadyDlg" Order="3">WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH OR
SAVEDIR_VALID="1"</Publish>
            <Publish Dialog="SaveDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder"
Property="_BrowseProperty" Value="[SAVEDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish>
            <Publish Dialog="SaveDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder"
Event="SpawnDialog" Value="BrowseDlg" Order="2">1</Publish>


Thanks in advance for your help!
