The problem I see with Burn is that it has .NET as a prerequisite,
which means you have a minimum of about 50MB if you want
anging the files, not set a GUID so Windows Installer will copy
the file but not keep track of it. You might want to set
'NeverOverwrite' in that case to prevent upgrades overwriting local
changes.

I think that error occurs if you compress packages into the installer
executable but don't sign them: I found that if you sign the installer
but leave the MSI files unsigned then Burn fails to extract them at runtime.
