Is this a known issue? If so any workaround?

If not, where should I be looking for a change?



No, so something else is going on. Start with how you let the user 
choose the custom directory, with SetTargetPath.

[WiX-users] install/uninstall on/from custom location does not work on W2K3 but does on Vista

[Rachna Khune]

Hi there
I have run into an issue where in on W2K3 installing to a custom location does 
not work. That is, after choosing a custom folder, the install goes through but 
dumps the contents into the default Program Files folder. Similarly, while 
uninstalling on W2K3, the msi uninstalls but the bits do not get removed at 
all. The installation to a custom location and installation from a custom 
location work fine on vista though.

Is this a known issue? If so any workaround?
If not, where should I be looking for a change?

Here is what my wix directory structure looks like
