Having thought about this overnight, I had an idea. I haven't tried this, but I
believe it should work.
Change this line:
<Property Id="VIRTUALDIR"><![CDATA[Staffbank]]></Property>
to these two lines:
<Property Id="VIRTUALDIR" Secure="yes"><![CDATA[Staffbank]]></Property>
<SetDirectory Id="INSTALLDIR" Sequence="execute"
Value="[IISROOT][VIRTUALDIR]\">NOT Installed</Property>
Let us know if that works or not.
BTW, you do know to use virtual machines to test installers, right? You
snapshot before you test your installer, so you can revert if the installer
doesn't do exactly what you want. This is especially important when you have
components marked permanent.
