How can I set install path for a particular feature in Custom UI dialog and make managed project to take that while installing

Hi
I am using WixSharp to build msi for our product.
I have a custom UI dialog where I am giving facility to user to change installation directory for a feature. (I am having multiple features those may have different installation directories/paths)
How can I make managed project to take this user defined path while installing that feature?

Hi
Many thanks for your reply. Actually I did manage to get features dialog as per my requirement. Please see attached image having installation screen & related Wix# code.

I might have put my requirement in wrong words due to which you said it is not possible. But please consider attached installation screen is my requirement.

You can see that I have instantiated Feature class object with ConfigurableDir parameter. ("FEATURE1DIR" & "FEATURE2DIR").
It tells me that it will show "Browse" button if ConfiurableDir parameter is non-empty.

However, my question or blocking point is, I don't get Browse button beside every feature. Browse button will be used by user to set installation directory for that feature.

Can you please help me in getting Browse button enabled there?

I am not sure I follow.
You are still using the same problem description as in you original post:

However, my question or blocking point is, I don't get Browse button beside every feature. Browse button will be used by user to set installation directory for that feature.

I was trying to explain that the installation directory the user provides is used for the installation of the product. For all selected features. Not "for that feature".

I also see the first dir in your code snippet that has the id set to some path. It's not what is expected for the id. Have a look at some samples to get an idea about a typical setup definition. IE InstallDir, InstallDir_AbsolutePath, etc.
