You can set the Alias to "MyWebDir/MyVirtualDir". Luckily you didn't want to create a WebDir and fill in with content - I'm working around that now, and it isn't pretty under Vista (and possibly 2008) due to permissions and timing issues.
I will agree with you that the reference model for the IIs extension is somewhat of a pain; I am contemplating adding a WebFile element and making the nesting somewhat more sane (makes it easier to generate WiX from a hierarchical store). I'm also working on better integration of File / Directory elements with the Web elements - although one CAN create arbitrary paths and set arbitrary properties within the metabase, it doesn't make sense to do so. It would nice if one could be assured that they weren't going to end up with stranded metabase references because the file / directory was deleted (and vice versa). Thanks, Thomas S.
