Because when I started with WiX I read this:
http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/getting-started/the-files-inside
I removed these overrides but the issue remains:
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder'>
<Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='protop3' />
</Directory>
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder">
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuDir" Name="Protop 3" />
</Directory>

OK, your WIXUI_INSTALLDIR is fine.
This is the source of your problem:
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="Programs">
Why are you overriding this pre-defined value? By doing so, its
functionality is destroyed. Remove the Name attribute.
Liikewise, why are you overriding ProgramFilesFolder? The predefined value
sets a nice default which you can still override via the UI.

If it's done right, it shouldn't make a difference whether it is command
line or UI driven.
How is it set and what is the value of WIXUI_INSTALLDIR Property?

Thank you and my apologies for not including this critical information. I
am using WixUIExtensions so this is a graphical, interactive installation.
My UI is a modified version of WixUI_InstallDir.wxs.
I did verify that the problematic directory is not created until after you
confirm installation via the UI.
Also, the application installs correctly in C:\Program Files(x86)\protop3 or
c:\My Apps\protop3. Everything works as expected EXCEPT this additional
directory that is created.

How are you passing it to the installer? If on the command line, the
directory path needs to be "" delimited.

Subject: [WiX-users] Extra Dir Created When Install Dir Has Spaces
Wix Toolset 3.10
If I install my application in a directory with spaces (C:\Program Files,
C:\My Apps) an extra directory is created (C:\Program or C:\My).
Running msiexec with /l*vx doesn't show any trace of this directory being
created in the log file.
Can anyone help me to debug? Or make any suggestions?
Relevant Code snippets:
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'>
<Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='protop3' />
</Directory>
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="Programs">
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuDir" Name="Protop 3" />
</Directory>
<Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop" />
</Directory>
<Feature Id='Complete' Title='Protop 3' Description='Protop Complete
Installation.'
Display='expand' Level='1'
ConfigurableDirectory='INSTALLDIR'>
<Feature Id='MainProgram' Title='Program' Description='The main
executable.' Level='1'>
<ComponentRef Id='ProtopShortcut' />
<ComponentRef Id='Pt3InstShortcut' />
<ComponentRef Id='Pt3DbCfgShortcut' />
<ComponentRef Id='Pt3SvcShortcut' />
<ComponentRef Id='InstallPerms' />
<ComponentGroupRef Id='protopGroup' />
</Feature>
</Feature>
And my componentgroup looks like this :
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Directory Id="BinDirectory" Name="bin"
/>
<Directory Id="dir3E02976F57563947ADB6A8038DF4FCEF" Name="etc"

<Directory Id="dir9817368147C56C18448096D3AFE90F6B"

</DirectoryRef>
