Thanks for the reply Carter, but I'm not using the Feature Tree. The
WixUI_InstallDir template is just Welcome -> License -> InstallDir ->
VerifyReady -> Complete.

There's only one feature to this application, I just want to "Change" the
install and move the files to a different location.

Thanks,
Adam Kadzban
