My install has a very large directory structure in which the root folder
is defined by the user. If the user doesn't change the default root
directory then everything works fine but if the default is changed then
the install creates a root folder in the new location but only the files
directly under the root folder are installed there; all the folders
under the root end up installed in the default location.

 

    <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">

      <Directory Id="WWWROOT" Name="wwwroot" >

        <Directory Id="WEBSITE" Name="WEBSITE" >

        </Directory>

      </Directory> <!-- WWWROOT -->

    </Directory> <!-- TARGETDIR -->

 

(in another wxs file)

 

<DirectoryRef Id="WEBSITE">

 

  <Directory Id="DIR1" Name="Dir1">

  </Direcotry>

 

(and series of other directory Id's)

 

</DirectoryRef>

 

In the UI the value of WEBSITE is changed to somewhere else but DIR1,
and all other folders declared under the WEBSITE DirectoryRef, still
reflect the default location. 

 

Is this the expected behavior? And if so... how might I all the
subsequent directories to follow WEBSITE to what ever value it contains?
