In Product.wxs, as part of the code creating the distribution package, a variable is defined (COLTTProjectDirectory) to point to the COLTT directory. It serves in particular to point to the license file to be used for distributing the CAPE-OPEN TLB/PIA. The two projects should be kept apart and should be self contained to ensure easy maintenance.

The problem is that the directory names CAPEOPENDIRECTORY.6087DC79_F9E7_4A90_BF9C_5DC775355161 and CAPEOPENDIRECTORY.FF607CD6_DDED_4C72_9407_AF18309AF5BC are upper case making them public properties. I assume those are coming from the TLB merge module? We need to change them to private properties with mixed case. By default, these values are set to the c:\program files area in the front end because the installer starts out with a per-machine installation since no ALLUSERS/MSIINSTALLPERUSER setting has been set. Adding these properties will not fix the problem because you will have the reverse problem when doing a per-machine install. The content will be installed in the wrong folder, although permissions will not be an issue.

Public properties are passed from the front end to the back end on the command line and thus are not changed in the back end.

On a Win 7 Pro x64 machine, I have installed the x64 CAPE-OPEN TLBs using the installer provided at ​http://www.colan.org/index-38.html. Then I have uninstalled the CAPE-OPEN TLBs using the same installation. Next I have uploaded the installers dated Feb 14, 2016 and launched the installer x64, choosing a per-machine installation (logged in as an admin). Gets error message: "Error writing to file: CAPE-OPENv1-0-0.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory." Retry option. "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2 2350.".
