It all depends on how much you want to understand the tools you’re using. If
you read the MSI SDK a few times (yeah, it’s dense and hard to get through)
then you’ll have a much better understanding of how things work and then how to
build optimal solutions. This really isn’t any different than any other
technology… <smile?>

Hi Rob,
I have just decompiled the mergemodules made by Visual Studio, which I use and
searched for the property that sets the path. In my main wxs I overwrite the
property with the one choosen in the dialog. I think it is not a good solution
but I do not get along with the Windows Installer SDK because WiX is much more
easier to handle :). But I am about to working me through the MSI SDK because
it seems that its really necessary if you want to write a more proper installer
than using such „workarounds“.
Greetings Peter

Yes, the Directories that are parented to TARGETDIR can be “reparented”. The
MSI SDK talks about how you can author your Merge Module’s directory table to
be retargetable.

Subject: [WiX-users] Change the parentdirectory of a mergemodule
Hi,
Is there a posibility to change the parent Directory of a merge module? At the
moment I am using a custom action that changes the directory below TARGETDIR.
All files of this target will be installed fine, but all Subfolders are
installed to „[TARGETDIR]Module Retargetable Folder\subdir“. It is a Merge
module created by VS2005 but i think that does not matter. So I just search
some kind of property to set Module Retargetable Folder for all subfolders.
Even the log is telling me nothing but the directory Ids reference to the
[TARGETDIR]Module Retargetable Folder\subdir
