All files directly under "Destination Computer"
Hey, have been browsing the site for a while, but havent found anything on this topic. Its not exactly a problem, but more of an annoyance. Recently more and more vendor msi files come with everything under the "files" section placed directly under "Destination Computer", and not in the normal file structure when looking at the package in Package Studio.
Can anyone explain why this is done? Is there a reason for this?

This is used (not that often) when who ever made the package is using a Set Directory custom action to "direct" the directory structure outside of the regular Directory table entries. Mostly used when files/directories are to be installed in the root of a drive.
Can't say I've seen much of this, could you specify some examples of packages you've seen this in?
