Sorry, it's not that polite.<g> The "Windows Installer Components" topic 
summarizes the magic of component rules with two bullets:

    In brief, these rules are:

        * Each component must be stored in a single folder.
        * No file, registry entry, shortcut, or other resources should
          ever be shipped as a member of more than one component. This
          applies across products, product versions, and companies.

So changing the directory violates 50 percent of the component rules.<g>
