Every component has a directory and if you specify the component itself 
as the keypath, yes, that directory becomes the keypath. The downside to 
directory keypaths is that as long as they exist, they won't trigger a 
component to be installed during a repair or patch. Also, WiX 
automatically adds CreateFolder rows if the component is the keypath, 
which is what's causing the message from Pyro.

I'm not aware of a solution. It's always best to have a versioned file 
as keypath if you can arrange it.
