If create a VDPROJ in VS2003 I see the Directory table looks like:

DIRECTORYNAME | TARGETDIR | .:MODULE~1|Module Retargetable Folder

On VS2005 it's:

DIRECTORYNAME | TARGETDIR | MODULE~1|Module Retargetable Folder

Notice the .: is missing. This seems badly broken to me? When I consume the merge module in InstallShield the DIRECTORYNAME becomes a subfolder of the parent directory instead of the same folder as the parent directory.

Has anyone else seen this? I'm thinking I'm going to have to write a MSI SQL postbuild script to fix this.

No bites I guess! Looks like my postbuild modifications will have to stand as a workaround.
