Actually, setup.exe is generally used so that TSE can tell it's a setup, and go into setup mode automatically, whereas if it's called MyAppSetup.exe, you need to run a command before and afterwards.

App Paths works for Start->Run programs but not for command line programs.
MSI doesn't add anything automatically - what exe would it choose?
If you use App Paths, make sure your program name is unique. ( You wouldn't
believe how often "setup.exe" in App Paths has usurped a bona fide setup.exe
program on a CD. There should be a rule banning the use of the name
setup.exe. )

Isn't this what the entries in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\ do?
I thought I once saw some WiX documentation on this registry path, but I
can't find it now; does the WiX toolset have explicit support for App Paths,
is it taken care of automatically by MSI, or should I just put the registry
entry in myself (scary)?
I tried a test installer and nothing showed up there, but I may not have set
it up properly. Putting in an entry by hand doesn't seem immediately
effective either, so perhaps I'm just confused.
Thanks!
