How to resove "Error 2872: The argument of the CheckPath control event Invalid"

Hi,



I am facing issue with Wix 3.0 InstallDirDlg, WixUI_InstallDir.



I renamed the above two files id like this

InstallDirDlg - InstallDirDlg_MY

WixUI_InstallDir -WixUI_InstallDir_MY

and changed following





and in WixUI_InstallDir_MY changed at following places:-

1. <Publish Dialog="LicenseAgreementDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="InstallDirDlg_MY">LicenseAccepted = "1"</Publish>

2. <Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg_MY" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="LicenseAgreementDlg">1</Publish>

3. <Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg_MY" Control="Next" Event="SetTargetPath" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish>

4. <Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg_MY" Control="Next" Event="DoAction" Value="WixUIValidatePath" Order="2">NOT WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH</Publish>

5. <Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg_MY" Control="Next" Event="SpawnDialog" Value="InvalidDirDlg" Order="3"><![CDATA[NOT WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH AND WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID<>"1"]]></Publish>

6. <Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg_MY" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg" Order="4">WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH OR WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID="1"</Publish>

7. <Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg_MY" Control="ChangeFolder" Property="_BrowseProperty" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish>

8. <Publish Dialog="VerifyReadyDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="InstallDirDlg_MY" Order="1">NOT Installed</Publish>



Finally in InstDirDlg_MY




I am facing this error:-


The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2872. The arguments are: InstallDirDlg_MY, ,

Event=3D"SetTargetPath" Value=3D"WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Order=3D"1">1</Publish>
