Setup Project Does Not Create File System Folders During Installation

I want to create personal folders during installation. I did the following steps:

Right click on your setup project -> View -> File System

Right click on node “File system on target machine” -> Add special folder -> User’s personal data folder

Right click on node “User’s personal data folder” -> Add -> Folder -> type “My Personal Folder 1”

After deployment they it should in users “My documents”.

I know the above steps are correct and should work because i did it in the other application (solution) and worked fine. When i did same exact steps (of course i changed the folder name to be created), the application gets deployed but when i install, i don't get the Personal Folder under Documents? I wonder why did it work with my first solution and didn't work with the current one!

Please help, i have no other options except asking. I cleaned solution, i rebuilt, i tried different things but no hope.

Use "always create" in the folder´s properties, otherwise it wont create empty folders during the installation

There must be some difference but there is no way we can find that.

Did you make sure there is no previous version installed? Upped the versionnumber(s) ?
