I managed to solve the problem. Even none of the components install any
files it is still important they "install" to the same folder. So the trick
is to replace the directory tree with this one:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
Nevertheless, I appreciate any feedback more experienced users can give me
on this solution.
