wix - Two feature in different locations -

i trying make wix installer. have 2 features defined. want able install each feature in different location.

 <feature id='serverinstallation' title='engine' level='1' configurabledirectory='targetdir'>   <componentgroupref id='serverfilesystemgroup' />   <componentgroupref id='registrygroup' /> </feature> 

i want able put anywhere on disk, default value c:\program files\productname\feature1

 <feature id='clientinstallation' title='moduletitle' level='1' configurabledirectory='installlocation'>   <componentgroupref id='clientsystemgroup' />    <feature id='subfeatureid' title='subfeature' level='1'>     <componentgroupref id='subfeaturesystemgroup' />   </feature> </feature> 

i want able put anywhere on disk, default value c:\program files\productname\feature2

but 2 feature should able installed in non-related location. tried define root directory targetdir , on same level installlocation error

the directory id 'installlocation' not valid root directory. there may single root directory per product or module , id attribute value must 'targetdir' , name attribute value must 'sourcedir'.

how can setup properly?

it might see <directory> structure, in case, can't use targetdir configurable directory. targetdir can used @ root, , goes inside.

i think yours should this:

<directory id="targetdir" name="sourcedir">   <directory id="programfilesfolder">     <directory id="productfolder" name="productname">       <directory id="installdir1" name="feature1" />           <directory id="installdir2" name="feature2" />      </directory>   </directory> </directory>   

then can use installdir1 , installdir2 configurabledirectorys.
