generally speaking you should not be installing anything to a system critical directory like the Windows directory or any subdirectory.

Those directories are generally reserved for system level files.

I have not tried accessing those directories under Vista, but I am betting you will hit an "access denied" error unless the installation is running as a user with full administrator rights.

You could try to access it by using the [WindowsFolder] property to get you the base path to Windows and just navigate from there.

example:
[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.Net\Framework

You'll need to set the "Required Execution Level" to "Administrator" (in the release view) to be allow to put anything in such a restricted directory.

however i must agree with Lurean that this is a bad idea
