[TARGETDIR] in the Registry table

Hi,

I created an MSI install project in VS 2005. I need to specify some folder
locations as registry values, so I have some keys with the value as

[TARGETDIR]\subFolder

When I run the installer, it creates registry values that look like
[TARGETDIR]\\subFolder - notice the double backslash. In Orca, I can see
that TARGETDIR is defined without a trailing backslash, so I don't know the
reason for the double backslash in the registry value.

I edited the Registry entries to look like [TARGETDIR]subFolder and this
works, but I don't understand why this happened in the first place. Can
someone educate this poor noob?

Thanks,
-Jim
