[mapguide-internals] About the WiX installer

[Jason Birch]

This environment variable is set in 

https://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/browser/trunk/Installer/Libraries/CS%20M
ap/CSMap.wxs

Based on the location (directory ID) of the CSMap dictionary files that
is hard-coded in the include files:

I'm guessing that this got walked on when you refreshed the file list.  

I couldn't find a way of abstracting the files in a way that would be
safe from these updates.  The whole installer process appears to be
based on manually maintaining the file list once it is initially
generated.  They have a couple tools (auto-GUID generation based on
keypath, etc) that make this easier, but setting usable directory
identifiers and other similar things is problematic.

For some reason the installer doesn't seem to want to set the
MENTOR_DICTIONARY_PATH environment variable during installation. Any
possible reason?

I'm using Windows XP Pro SP3.
