However, in the end, my INSTALLDIR within Harvester.wxs contains directory foo and then its components, and I want only want is components. In other words, my current harvest is this... <Fragment> <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR"> <Directory Id="dir###..." Name="foo"> <Component Id="cmp###..." Guid="GUID"> <File Id="fil###..." KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.SourceDir)\README.txt" /> </Component> But I want my harvest instead to be without <Directory Id="dir###..."
