The issue is even more compounded...
I have 5 merge modules, and each merge module has WIXLibs as well
So I have a mergemodule redirect directory element and a wixlibs folder element
i.e.
PRODUCT.WXS
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" DiskId="1">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="TITUS" DiskId="1">
<Directory Id="DIRECTORY_PATH_SERVICES" Name="TITUS Services"
DiskId="1">
<Merge Id="EnterpriseAuditLogServicesMM" DiskId="1"
SourceFile="$(var.SolutionDir)..\wixlib\TitusEnterpriseAuditLogServicesMergeModule.msm"
Language="1033"/>
MergeModule.wxs
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="MergeRedirectFolder"> this would be the path C:\Program
Files\TITUS\TITUS Services\
<Directory Id="WixLibRedirectFolder"
Name="EnterpriseSettingsService"> this would be the path C:\Program
Files\TITUS\TITUS Services\EnterpriseSettingsService
Would it make more sense... to have the product.wxs change the folders for each
merge module (since they go into different folders?
Ie.
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" DiskId="1">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="TITUS" DiskId="1">
<Directory Id="DIRECTORY_PATH_SERVICES" Name="TITUS Services"
DiskId="1">
<Directory Id="EnterpriseSettting" Name=" EnterpriseSettingsService "
DiskId="1">
<Merge Id="EnterpriseAuditLogServicesMM" DiskId="1"
SourceFile="$(var.SolutionDir)..\wixlib\TitusEnterpriseAuditLogServicesMergeModule.msm"
Language="1033"/>

John, you shouldn't have to preserve Directory paths if a Component is
installed in it. You do need to preserve any Property values that you want
persisted.
Steve, sorry, I usually point people to the verbose log file to help them jump
start their investigation. I unfortunately don't have time to root cause all
the issues people post here from scratch.
