Just specify the Directory structure according how it should be when
installed, and then you just set File/@Source appropriately so that WiX
finds the source files (i.e. it can contain path information)

I'm sorry, but my little brain is just not getting it. How do I map from
the file structure on my build server to the file structure on the
destination machine? I'm not talking about radical file structure changes,
just paths to the source files that go into the msi and where those files
get placed when they come out of the msi.

I realize that the msi is storing the final (destination) structure. But I
don't get how to tell Wix where to find the files if they reside in a
difference source path.

My build server structure is:

c:
  \Build
    \Product1
      \Revision 2007.1.0
      \Revision 2007.2.0
    \Product2
      \Revision 2007.1.0

I would like the files to be installed on the destination machine in this
structure:

ProgramFilesFolder
  \CompanyName
    \Product1Name
    \Product2Name

So files from c:\Build\Product1\Revision 2007.1.0 get packaged up into an
msi and installed on the destination machine in \Program
Files\CompanyName\Product1Name

This is possible right? Or do I have a fundamental mis-understanding of
how this works?

Thanks for any insights
Christopher
