Depending on the compression attributes you set and the source paths you use in
your directory tree the files will move around. All of the options are not
particularly intuitive but the files are being placed where the Windows
Installer expects them. Play with the compression and source pices of your
install and you'll see the files move around.

Subject: [WiX-users] Files not compressed aren't staged correctly
I just changed two of my installers to not compress any files. It builds fine.
The MSI itself is at the top most level. However, with one of the two MSIs
almost all of the files are also at the topmost level rather than being in
their respective subfolders. The files are being picked up from the proper
subfolders, they just don't end up in similar subfolders under the MSI. Can
anyone think of a reason this might happen? Using WiX 2.0.5325.0. I have not
run across this before. I actually changed two installers today and while one
behaves as expected, putting each file in the relative subfolder under the
resulting MSI, the other installer doesn't behave the same.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Chad
