Thanks for your quick reply :)
This makes you wonder why the MSI file is being cached anyway...
Is this a general issue (e.g. is it still there in WiX 3.0 or in MSI 4.x
?) and is there a way to get around this?
The most likely way is to copy the MSI file onto a directory after
installing and th

The Windows Installer engine is not aware of INF files. Reading property
values from an inf file would require a custom action. That said, WiX might
add such an action by default, but I don't know WiX well enough. Probably
others in here could answer this.
Otherwise, to help us better understand
You need to put the Custom Action into the InstallExecuteSequence.

Hey Chris,

some products out there that need to do this. The biggest thing I can see is
not what files should be included. In our product deployment cycles we would

I know the feeling. I have it baked into my build automation to run a unit

Nevermind. As has just been pointed out to me that's for UAC on Vista. I got

There is currently no solution to the file sequencing problems that adding
files in Merge Modules introduce for patching.
To see how merge module files are ordered take a look at the Binder.
ProcessMergeModules() method.

Two options:
1. Enhance the existing custom actions to support this scenario. (the ideal,
especially if you are willing to sign the assignment agreement and send your
code in).
2. Reimplement the code to find a web site that is found in the custom
actions, deferred, after the ConfigureIIs c

I think you're forgetting that not all custom actions run inside the
setup process (I assume you're referring to msiexec.exe). Custom actions
can be external executables that run in their own process.
I think you're reading this:

The MSI file is cached (without the files) because there's enough info
in there to see if repair is needed, such as file hashes, file version,
component info etc. Also a repair of a registry entry can happen
without going to the original source because that's still in the cached
MSI file.

Yes it is. Assemblies aren't committed in the GAC until InstallFinalize.
