Steps To Reproduce

1. Create sample InstallScript MSI
2. Install built install on target machine with an user specified location
3. Create a minor upgrade by changing version number
4. Add a new component and file installing to subfolder of INSTALLDIR
5. Build minor upgrade
6. Run minor upgrade on target machine

Workaround

• The work around is to replace the identifier for the subfolder with a non-public one. Look for the new entry in the directory table. For example if the identifier is "SUBFOLDER" in the Directory column, change it to "Subfolder"
• Writing code to handle the locations of the directories explicitly.
