[Bug 19811] Visual C 2005 redistributable installers create many empty directories in WinSXS

Hello,

This should be fixed, we don't call msi_create_component_directories
in the CreateFolder action anymore. Please retest.

Nope, even if "CreateFolder" behaviour is fixed now, "InstallFiles" action will
still do, see second part of my comment.

...
"InstallFiles" action (which also calls msi_create_component_directories()
helper) should only create target folder structure for files that are really
copied/uncompressed.
--- quote ---

--- snip dlls/msi/files.c ---
/*
 * ACTION_InstallFiles()
 * 
 * For efficiency, this is done in two passes:
 * 1) Correct all the TargetPaths and determine what files are to be installed.
 * 2) Extract Cabinets and copy files.
 */
UINT ACTION_InstallFiles(MSIPACKAGE *package)
{
    MSIMEDIAINFO *mi;
    UINT rc = ERROR_SUCCESS;
    MSIFILE *file;

/* increment progress bar each time action data is sent */
    ui_progress(package,1,1,0,0);

schedule_install_files(package);

/*
     * Despite MSDN specifying that the CreateFolders action
     * should be called before InstallFiles, some installers don't
     * do that, and they seem to work correctly.  We need to create
     * directories here to make sure that the files can be copied.
     */
    msi_create_component_directories( package );

mi = msi_alloc_zero( sizeof(MSIMEDIAINFO) );

LIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY( file, &package->files, MSIFILE, entry ) 
...
--- snip dlls/msi/files.c ---

So unfortunately this isn't fixed.

Regards
