Something like this:
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'>
<Directory Id='DivisionProgFiles' Name='MyCompany'>
<Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='MyApp' LongName='My New Application'>
<Directory Id='MYSUBFOLDER' Name='NewFolder' />
</Directory>
<Directory Id='SHAREDFOLDER' Name='Shared' />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
In this example, I have created two additional folders: One (SHAREDFOLDER)
is a sibling to INSTALLDIR and the other (MYSUBFOLDER) is the sub-folder
that your original question referred to. Then you simply place your
components as necessary. I personally have my WXS files broken up, so my
structure looks similar to the above (in my "main.wxs" file), and then in my
other WXS files, I simply add the appropriate <DirectoryRef> tag and list my
components like so:
<DirectoryRef Id='MYSUBFOLDER'>
<Component Id='MYEXE' DiskId='1' Guid='INSERT GUID'>
<File Id='THEEXE' Name='mynewapp.exe' src='Binary\myapp.exe' />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
Hope this helps (and I hope someone else proofs this in case I've stated
something incorrect :)

Subject: [WiX-users] subdirectories under INSTALLDIR
Hey All,
I'm new to WiX, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I've
searched the help file and the mailing list to no avail...
I have my .wxs file setup so that the user can specify the INSTALLDIR (via
WixUI_Mondo). I need to be able for force some files to be installed in
specific directories under INSTALLDIR (i.e. the user cannot choose their
location). Is this possible? If so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanx!
Chris
