And your efforts are very much appreciated. I hope to be using WiX for my
production installs by the end of the year.

Thank you, your suggestion is very much appreciated.
Note I do believe that dark can often get quite a bit of the original MSI
(assuming it is mostly valid) translated into .wxs code. Thus I dont think
most people have to start completely from scratch. Of course, there is always
room to improve (see below).

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.

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.
