That was my first tentative but it didn't work, so i tried to use
DirectoryRef as i posted.
The CreateFolder fixed the problem with the empty folder, one problem less
to worry :-)
I don't know why it install one component and not the other (at least i
can't find it) if they belong to the same feature (and only one).
It also have a component that install a database on the same feature and it
installs successfully.

I'd say that it should work.
Try to put the "App\Backups" folder directly to INSTALLLOCATION
folder. (I mean do not use the DirectoryRef element).
If it does not help than I don't know.
Maybe someone else will konw more about this problem...
