Sounds like a bug. Would you file it?

Hrmm...it doesn't.
At least, using VS 2005 with Votive and doing this doesn't work:
....snippet....
<Property Id="INSTALLTODIR"><![CDATA[E:\myprog\]]></Property>
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles">
<Directory Id=" INSTALLTODIR " Name=".">
<Directory Id="TheService" FileSource="C:\sourcefiles\"
Name="TheService">
<Component Id="component1" Guid="[guid]">
<File Source="config.xml" KeyPath="yes" />
<File Source="Service.svc" KeyPath="no" />
....etc....
What I am receiving is an error in Visual Studio telling me that the
files cannot be found.

Yes, that should work.

Subject: [WiX-users] FileSource attribute of the Directory Element
There is not a lot of documentation on the FileSource attribute, so what
I am wondering is if I have a Directory element with FileSource
specified like so:
...snippet...
<Directory Id="myDir" Name="My Dir" FileSource="C:\SourceFiles\">
<Component Id="Component1" Guid="[some guid]">
<File Source="numberonefile.xml" KeyPath="no" />
<File Source="numbertwofile.xml" KeyPath="no" />
...more files...
</Component>
</Directory>
Shouldn't that work as shown? Or, must I specify file paths in the
Source attribute, e.g. <File Source="SourceFiles\numberonefile.xml"
KeyPath="no" /> ?
