Wix msi won't work. Particular msi's do

This is my first question in this forum.

I've build several msi's for my installer. All of them work. But if I put them together with the bootstrapper the exe-File won't install the files inside of the msi's.

The Installer then starts shows that it is working on the particular msi's but in the end no new file is on the system.

Can anybody help?

Thanks for your clue.

By reading the log I found out that the exe writes to another drive than the single msi's do. I don't know weather this is a "clean" solution but for me hardcoding the TARGETDIR to "D:\" does the job. All files are copied to the destinationfolder.

<Property Id="TARGETDIR">D:\</Property>

Before that I had used a custom action to change the rootdirectory. That worked for the single msi's but not for the exe.
