    <p>I have used the Heat tool to generate a wxs file based on a folder whose contents I want to install. This gives me a large file like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"&gt; &lt;Fragment&gt; &lt;DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR"&gt; &lt;Directory Id="dir1FC8A0605F7DF8B33E3EECB0A1270FA2" Name="DirectoryName" /&gt; &lt;/DirectoryRef&gt; &lt;/Fragment&gt; &lt;Fragment&gt; &lt;ComponentGroup Id="ComponentGroupId"&gt; &lt;Component Id="cmp1FB67A60B41F3170889B7E5739A23560" Directory="dir1FC8A0605F7DF8B33E3EECB0A1270FA2" Guid="{2DC3B790-D29C-4090-B4CF-5C27687C6ABE}"&gt; &lt;File Id="filF1E1262E52254B1846C7CB2393126A6F" KeyPath="yes" Source="PathToFile" /&gt; &lt;/Component&gt; &lt;/ComponentGroup&gt; &lt;/Fragment&gt; &lt;/Wix&gt; </code></pre> <p>In my main Wix file, Product.wxs, I have a feature that references the above ComponentGroup that was created by Heat. The feature looks something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Feature Id="FeatureId" Title="FeatureTitle" Level="1" AllowAdvertise="no" Absent="disallow" Description="Feature description."&gt; &lt;ComponentGroupRef Id="ComponentGroupId" /&gt; &lt;/Feature&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is working but when I run my installer, the files within the component group are placed in the root of the C drive (i.e. C:\DirectoryName) but I would like them to go into Program Files (e.g. C:\Program Files\DirectoryName).</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>Thanks, Alan</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
