Folder with explicit install/remove action requires component for MSI

The indicated folder has an explicit installation or removal action. In an MSI installer, this requires that the folder is assigned to a component.

Background

There are two kind of folder actions: implicit and explicit.

• The implicit folder actions are Create on demand and Remove if empty. These are the default folder actions and don't require a component.
• All other actions are explicit actions and require a component for MSI.

Solution

Do one of the following:

• Assign the folder to a component. If necessary, you can create a new component for the folder; in that case, be sure to add the component to at least one feature or it won't be included in the installation package.
• Set the folder's Install action to Create on demand and its Remove action to Remove if empty.
