Your problem is that "basedir" isn't a child of "INSTALLDIR", it's a child of "ProgramFilesFolder". Here is your current code: <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'> <Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='BGInfo4X for Windows $(var.ProductVersion)'></Directory> <Directory Id='basedir'></Directory> </Directory>
You should change it to this: <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'> <Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='BGInfo4X for Windows $(var.ProductVersion)'> <Directory Id='basedir'></Directory> </Directory> </Directory> Also, you should pass in "-srd" on the heat commandline (suggestion #3 above), or else you're going to get a "BGINFO4XW" directory inside the directory you intend to install to. Finally, regarding the "-ag" matter, you can end up with all sorts of weird behavior when you break component GUID rules. Just pass "-ag" for your scenario and it's a lot less likely to bite you someday.
