"Media", in Windows Installer, doesn't just refer to CABs containing files described in the File table (whether those cabs are embedded in the MSI or not), it also refers to the media containing the files external to the MSI (outside of any cabs). Any File element requires at least one Media element. You can "configure" the Media element with an Id of "1" to not cab anything to get the layout you are describing.

I started off with a separate wxs files and placing the features in teh individual folders. That failed, and I have resorted back to putting everything into the one wxs file. Using candle, the wixobj file is created no problem, but when I try to create the msi I get teh following errors: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\NeuscanAI_Setup\NeuScanAISetup.wxs(41) : error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol 'Media:1' in section 'Product:{25457996-A4C4-4EB4-AFC2-D9890ED9B2F5}'.

The thing is I dont have any reference to media:1 or diskid in the wxs file as I am not including them in the MSI, but instead am going to keep the files along side the installer as the raw files. Can anyone help? Thanks _________________________________________________________________ Do you have a story that started on Hotmail?
