I will check out the links later today from work. I will also see if 
there is a newer .msm for crystal reports that will work with (/not 
break) my project. If there is, I will use it instead.

As for switching FTP servers, that I cannot do, as it is the company 
wide FTP and I do not have a choice in what I can use. I find it 
somewhat ironic that the vs2005 setup bundler can split up the setup 
files but WiX cannot. I can only hope that such functionality is some 
kind of custom implementation. I know that in this day and age such 
issues really are not a concern, but the added flexibility for WiX would 
be most excellent.

Thanks for the help.
