Hi Thomas
The C:\Windows\Installer\ folder is hidden system folder which is
used by Windows Installer INTERNALY. It means that you should not
install any files to this folder (I think).
Anyway, you should use the
<Directory Id='WindowsFolder' Name='.' SourceName='.'>
to get the correct Windows folder location.
Regards
Stefan
