I think there is an issue with Merge Modules/WixLibs/product.wxs... Wixlibs
require you have a directory element in each wixlib that is the same
Then in the merge module I reference that wixlib directory
The wixlibs has the directory element as such (same for each wixlib):
<ComponentGroup Id="cmpgrp_TitusSharedDataDlls"
Directory="WixLibRedirectFolder">
Each of my merge modules are now:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="WixLibRedirectFolder">
Then in the product.wxs each merge module is:
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" DiskId="1">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="TITUS" DiskId="1">
<Directory Id="DIRECTORY_PATH_SERVICES" Name="TITUS Services"
DiskId="1">
<Directory Id="AUDITLOG_SERVICE" Name="EnterpriseAuditLogService"
DiskId="1">
<Merge Id="EnterpriseAuditLogServicesMM" DiskId="1"
SourceFile="$(var.SolutionDir)..\wixlib\TitusEnterpriseAuditLogServicesMergeModule.msm"
Language="1033"/>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="MANAGEMENT_SERVICE"
Name="EnterpriseManagementService" DiskId="1">
<Merge Id="EnterpriseManagementServicesMM" DiskId="1"
SourceFile="$(var.SolutionDir)..\wixlib\TitusEnterpriseManagementServicesMergeModule.msm"
Language="1033"/>
</Directory>
Etc...
The logfile for the REPAIR has set the WixLibRederictFolder to the same path:

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.
