If you already know the directory you want by name (which your attempt requires) and you know it is always an immediate subdirectory of the templates folder (which your attempt also requires) can't you do something like this?
... <PropertyRef Id="VS90_ITEMTEMPLATES_DIR"/> <SetProperty Id="PROPCSHARPTEMPLATEDIR" After="AppSearch" Sequence="both" Value="[VS90_ITEMTEMPLATES_DIR]CSharp\"/> ... <Directory Id="PROPCSHARPTEMPLATEDIR"> ... Or even this: ... <PropertyRef Id="VS90_ITEMTEMPLATES_DIR"/> ... <Directory Id="VS90_ITEMTEMPLATES_DIR"> <Directory Id="PROPCSHARPTEMPLATEDIR" Name="CSharp"> ... </Directory> </Directory> ... The intent should be very clear with both approaches and they are much less verbose as well. Modify the first above if you allow the PROPCSHARPTEMPLATEDIR value to be overridden by the user like this (the second doesn't require any changes): ... <PropertyRef Id="VS90_ITEMTEMPLATES_DIR"/> <Property Id="PROPCSHARPTEMPLATEDIR" Secure="yes"/> <SetProperty Id="PROPCSHARPTEMPLATEDIR" After="AppSearch" Sequence="both" Value="[VS90_ITEMTEMPLATES_DIR]CSharp\">NOT PROPCSHARPTEMPLATEDIR</SetProperty> ... <Directory Id="PROPCSHARPTEMPLATEDIR"> ...
