You'll need to delete the MyPicturesFolder from the Directory-table or change it's location in the registery.
I can't change the location of "my pictures", because my client wants it removed.
I think it repair the folder because of the sequence which search all variables necessary for the installation, "mypicturesfolder" include... and repair it. there is no more information in the log. it may be an intern mechanism of windows ???
I searched every occurence of "pictures" in direct editor, delete the field from the directory table, this was the only one occurence in the table.

The location of MyPicture is stored in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders.
If you change it there, you'll never see it again on the machine (for that user anyway).
I think it's really impossible to delete it.......... :(
Thanks for all, and if you've got another idea this wouldbe welcomed...
