Personally, in the list of all the technologies to blame, I blame
Fusion.
Fusion is the technology under the GAC (Fusion is actually a code name
for a few things but the GAC is very much Fusion's fault) and due to

They work the same way. Just list all the files you want installed and
the Windows Installer will install/uninstall/rollback them all.

Because at the end of the day, files go into .cabs or disks. That

Ah, I see. That isn't as flexible, and seems a bit confusing, but it should
work.
I expected the hierarchy to work the other way around. That is, that I
would have a media element that would specify what features were contained
in it.

If your registry values belong to the component that's not being
uninstalled, yes.

Ok, I see this guy:

the key with all its values and subkeys when the parent component is

If this really is the C runtime then it's not going into the GAC (are
you using the merge modules?) but it is being committed to the SxS

Exactly. I understand the transacted nature of MSI and why things are the way
they are, but there is simply something wrong with MSI when files being
installed by one standard action but not another standard action are available
for consumption by yet another standard action. It's this bias t

But it is possible to start services using MSI / WiX. I know. My installation
does (I'm assuming it works for me because while the service is a .NET one, it
is not installed in or dependent on the GAC).
I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is merit to the ServiceControl
element. Unfo
Well, then what do you think, why is there a ServiceControl element with
start on install functionality? Should not it be completely removed to
prevent people from thinking that they can accomplish it with MSI/WiX? It
seems to me like people just simply need more than the current features.
