Sorry for all the questions, here's one more: how is the value of the path to Program Files (x86) being used? This value is specific to the build machine so it wouldn't be useful in the MSI file since the machine on which the msi is being installed may use a different path. You'd want to use something more like the pre-defined property ProgramFilesFolder to get the path of that folder during installation.
