I reverse engineered an MSI created by someone else into a wxs file
using dark. The wxs shows all sorts of files from Windows\System, SDK
folders and other places, as well as a bunch of system-level registry
entries. Is my installer really going to include all that? I really want
to just install my app and treat most other stuff as system
requirements.

 

The wxs seems to expect some sort of folder structure under the location
I specify as BaseInputPath (I'm using wix.targets). That means I have to
copy all of those files from various places into the specified tree
before I compile/link. Is that the normal way of doing it? Or should I
just edit the wxs directory element structure to point to where the
files actually are located? This is for an automated build situation. 

 

Thanks for your help.
