Dark probably does what Rob M. claims, it represents the package. That
you rather have it represented differently is either a question of taste
or a lack of time of the maintainer of dark. That you cannot recompile a
darked wxs to a working package is a good sign. It means that the
compiler and linker prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] schema problem while compiling the decompiled
msi
Funny, Rob introduced WiX to the world with the statement:
"Finally, the decompiler, called dark, can take existing MSI and MSM
files and generate XML source code that represents the package."
The reality is dark doesn't come anywhere close to actually representing
the original package. I leaves you with WxS files that are arbitrarily
mangled to be the way someone else `thinks` the package `should` have
been:

o-do-that.html
To me, this doesn't meet the definition of a decompiler.

Did you decompile it using dark? Dark isn't intended as a proper
decompiler, and the WiX guys have
always said that you won't necessarily be able to decompile
something with dark and get candle/light
to build the result. It's intended to give you a starting point,
or so that you can see how a given
installer might do something.
