There are times when I think the "unzip files" approach is legitimate.
For instance, suppose you have a bunch of data files that represent a
snapshot in time for a dynamically updating service. The service,
when run, will consume the initial snapshot of files to build its
database, then delete those files. The service will poll an internet
site for updates to store in the directory and process, deleting them
once they are processed.
Let me say straight away that I would also have to agree there are
sometimes occasions where an "unzip files" approach is valid (or at
least as valid as any other option).
I can't understand why anyone would want to add the complexity of an
unzip call into an MSI. It doesn't make sense.
If you want to drop unmanaged files, don't give the components GUIDs and
wrap these in their own feature.
