I've had the exact same idea slowly fermenting in my head. Interested in
how you make this work and any hiccups along the way.
We still need to do some work with our product before we can make time to
spend on the install story, but med-long term this is definitely of interest
here.

Subject: [WiX-users] Redistributing WiX in order to build custom
installersfor customers
Hi,
First off I'd like to say what a great tool WiX is and thanks to everybody
who has helped in its development.
I've been looking for articles or documentation on redistributing WiX as
part of the msi it produces. I don't see why this shouldn't be a problem
either technically or in terms of the licensing side of things, but wanted
to double check this and ask if anybody had experience of this or knew of
any "gotchas".
The scenario I'm thinking about is having a customer install our
(server-based) product and then being able to build their own end-user,
client installer, containing customised settings, logos etc. We'd ship the
base .wxs files as part of the server install, but customers could then use
config tools to either modify settings files, overwrite images etc.
If this is a standard sort of thing to do then are there any standard
Fragments etc for the WiX components themselves (candle, light etc) ?
Thanks in advance,
Andy
