No, it just means that the compiler and linker *thinks* it's smarter then I am
and it isn't.
WiX is just more pedantic and ultimatly useless since it constrains
flexibilty under the guise of protecting me from myself.

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:

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.
