Could this be the same problem as the bug that was filed on wixtoolset.org?

Moving the custom actions for setting the C Drive to be After CostFinalized
resolved the problem. WiX threw an error when I tried before CostInitialize.
Thanks!

The installed files were deleted from e:\... rather than c:\... proving
this theory.
Looks like I need to change when the custom action triggers. I'll try
before CostInitialize and see what happens since you like it.
I'm very new to both MSI and WiX. (I'm really good at Inno Setup but our
corporate standard says make MSIs. It also says to use WISE which is even
more confusing than WiX for me and my developer brain.)
Thanks a lot!

I think your CA_SetCDrive custom action is scheduled too late. I thought
directories needed to be set prior to CostInitialize.
