Yep just TARGETDIR, every other Directory Element is a child of it or of one of it's children. Administrative installs for patching put everything under the specified TARGETDIR & it's the only entry in the Directory table that has <null> for Directory_Parent when I view the MSI in instead (can screenshot or provide a link to the MSI to see for yourself if required).
