Mysterious "Program" folder being created in C:\

My installer drops it's payload into the Program Files\CompanyName directory of the operating system, and for some reason, a folder is being created in the C drive called Program. I'm not telling the installer to do this though... its just doing it. This is also bad because when I start up my computer, Windows Vista tells me that having a folder named "Program" in the C drive could cause problems, and asks me to rename it. Has anyone experienced this weird behavior before?

False alarm. It was my program that was creating the folder. Sorry for the confusion.
