MSI Problem

[Aaron]

I get the following error message if I do not install to
the default directory...

A portion of the folder path '' is invalid. It is either
empty or exceeds the length allowed by the system.

My created msi project (with Visual Studio 2003 .NET) is
very simple it has an application directory and several
custom directories defines under it like this [TARGETDIR]
\Docs.

Everything works great if I install to the default
directory otherwise I get this. I have tried setting all
the directories to always create and nothings seems to
work.

Thanks, I am more of a driver guy and not an apps guy.
