When using the ISWI, we'll set the value for INSTALLDIR to allocate files....
now, i wish i can put some files into the windows boot drive, eg. " C:\ " ??? how i can do it without using install scripts ?

I've got file removal working fine in my project, using the RemoveFile table.  Here is an example of a row from my table:
FileKey:  OnAirRequestor
Component:  DirOnAir
FileName:  WebRequestor.dll
DirProperty:  OnAirWeb
InstallMode:  2

The FileKey is just an identifier for the table.
The Component is the name of a component that will gets uninstalled at the same time this file should be removed.
The DirProperty is the name of an entry in the Directory table.
The InstallMode sets the file to be removed when the component gets removed.
