Try removing the ConfigurableDirectory attribute from all but your top level feature. I think that could be confusing Windows Installer about where to put the sub-features. Could be wrong though but it's worth a try.

When I install, it lets me change the install directory from the default path that I set to INSTALLLOCATION and it installs to that new directory perfectly fine. However, when I enter maintenance mode (by hitting Change in Add/Remove Programs or re-running the installer), and I try to add a feature that I hadn't yet installed, it will always install it to the default path, which is not where I installed the product to. Is there anything special I need to do to make that happen? Here's the code snippet of my installer: <?xml version='1.0'?> <!-- Copyright (c) Chase Paymentech Solutions, LLC.
