Some of my registry keys use values from the Directory structure:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="Intergraph PPM SDKs">
<Directory Id="MA" Name="SDK">
<Directory Id="Documents" Name="Documents"/>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE">
<RegistryKey Key="Intergraph">
<RegistryKey Key="SDK">
<RegistryValue Name="Path" Type="string" Value="[Documents]>
</RegistryKey>
</RegistryKey>
</RegistryKey>
When applying a patch i am loosing the value of the Documents folder in the
Path registry value.
because i only asked for a path in the RTM which is passed to INSTALLFOLDER msi

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Patching with BURN-how a patch knows about original
install folder?
A patch that is an update to installed components doesn't need to know
folder locations unless you need to specify them for some other reason. For
an update of component C-Guid of product code P-Guid it can locate the path
to any component (as can any program) by calling MsiGetComponentPath
(P-Guid, C-Guid...). This is one of the reasons that a having each file be
the key of its component is a good thing.
