How to extract a folder path in WIX?

I want to extract a folder path other than an installation directory using a second folder browser dialog. 

 <Control Id="edtDataStoreLocation" Type="PathEdit" X="45" Y="174" Height="18" Width="220"Property="MyProperty"/>

  <Control Id="btnStoreLocation" Type="PushButton" X="270" Y="175" Width="56" Height="17" Text="Browse" >
     <Publish Property="SelectFolderDialog_Property" Value="MyProperty" Order="1">1</Publish>
     <Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="SelectFolderDialog" Order="2">1</Publish>
  </Control>

This throws up an error when I click OK in the browser dialog. Following is the error.

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2727.

How can i select a folder and extract this path to MyProperty ?

You can do that with custom action if you want :

    var dialog = new OpenFileDialog
        {
            Filter = @"PFX Files|*.ipa",
            Title = @"Add IPA file"
        };
        if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            doSometh with the result;

        }
