Thanks for the reply Bob. Is there a reasonable way of extracting the MSI's into their individual components and features and then rebuilding them into a single install? Sorry if the questions are naïve, I am reading documentation all through Christmas to get up to speed!
I have tried InstallShield and some of the command line tools in WiX for extraction, but not being completely familiar with MSI I am hard pressed to see if the extraction is correct or if I could combine two extracted MSI's Patrick J.
