I would suggest that Dark should have a higher priority since this a tool that
can provide a good migration path for users using other toolsets. Not everyone
wants to do a complete reauthor of their installer solutions using a text
editor just to use a new toolset.
Rob Mensching <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Actually, I think that comment was
made a quite a while ago. Dark has come quite a ways in WiX v3 (mostly because
Derek picked up where Robert left off) and is quite good at translating most
well formed MSI files into .wxs source code. There are plenty of crazy things
you can do in your MSI to confuse the decompiler and we'd be happy to have bugs
filed against them... but the decompiler is still a lower priority tool than
the others in the core toolset
However, if you have some strange authoring that is common but the decompiler
doesn't handle correctly, file a bug and let us know. There are already a
special switch in the decompiler to help it when handling a VSI (Visual Studio
setup project) generated MSI.

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.
