Subject: [WiX-users] Install filles to an Image folder question I have one image file to install to an Images subfolder on the client. <ComponentGroup Id="ProductComponents" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER" > VS 2012 gives me a syntax error if I remove the 'Directory' from the ComponentGroup. I wanted to add: <Component Id="BtnIconImage" Guid="F0FA9774-79B2-4E0E-9BD7-6CB84AB73986" Directory="ImagesDir"> <File Id='celtic_btn_r1png' Name='celtic_btn_r1.png' Source="$(var.SolutionDir)SmartListW32\Images\celtic_btn_r1.png" DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes" > </File> </Component> And specify the directory in each component. What's the best way to do this?
