Problems customizing WIX InvalidDirDlg
In product.wxs I have:
<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" />
In LocalizableResources.wxl I have tried to override some strings:
<String Id="BrowseDlg_Title">I was here</String>
<String Id="InvalidDirDlg_Title">I was here</String>
<String Id="InvalidDirDlgText">I was here</String>
It works for the BrowseDlg, but not for the InvalidDirDlg. When I run the installer and I try to choose a DVD drive for the install directory, the error message I get is "The volume D: is currently unavailable. Please select another." This isn't even the expected string from WixUI_en-us.wxl, which is "Installation directory must be on a local hard drive."
How can I override the InvalidDirDlg? Why is it displaying the wrong error message?

Actually, the code in the question does work! If I choose a USB stick I get the InvalidDirDlg popping up with the overridden strings. It's only the DVD drive that doesn't work.
I was able to override the error for the DVD drive by using an Error element as explained here.
