The DefaultDir column in the Directory table lists all the subfolders just like I'd think it would be. My src= entries are all set to .\data\<somesubfolder> relative paths and my data folder itself is just below my main product WXS file. There is no compression turned on at this point at all. The files are in the flat, just not in subfolders below the resulting MSI. The install actually works, it's just where Light.exe seems to deposit the files that's not correct as far as I can tell.

Windows Installer allows the source tree to be different from the destination tree. It does this by the DefaultDir column in the Directory table, which allows you to specify different source and directory trees. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
