Hi, Have you tried putting <Payload> elements under your <ExePackage> for the extra files?

Hello, I'm chugging along with a Burn installer and its going quite well. Burn is downright cool! That is until I ran into Chrystal Reports. I've gotten Burn to include all the loose Chrystal Reports files with the LayoutDirectory and LayoutFile elements into my installer directory structure. However, when I run through the install Burn insists on copying the ExePackage Name/SourceFile element to the C:\ProgramData\Cache\{GUID} directory even with Cache='no'. Hence, Chrystal Reports SETUP.EXE can't find the rest of its files. Kind of makes it hard to install. :) Is there anything I can do to tell ExePackage to run in place relative to the main EXE instead of caching? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. <PackageGroup Id="CrystalReportsXIR2"> <ExePackage Id="CrystalReportsXIR2" Compressed="no" <--- Tried yes, too. Cache="no" <--- Tried yes, too. PerMachine="yes" Vital="yes" Name=".\PreReq\CrystalReportsXIR2\Setup.exe" SourceFile=".\PreReq\CrystalReportsXIR2\Setup.exe" InstallCommand="/qn CLIENTLANGUAGE=EN PIDKEY=XXXXXX REBOOT=ReallySuppress ADDLOCAL=ALL" DetectCondition="CrystalReportsXIR2Installed"/> </PackageGroup> <LayoutDirectory Id="PreReqCRXIR2" Name=".\PreReq\CrystalReportsXIR2"> <LayoutFile SourceFile=".\PreReq\CrystalReportsXIR2\autorun.inf"/> <LayoutFile SourceFile=".\PreReq\CrystalReportsXIR2\CRXIR2_Autorun.exe"/> <LayoutFile SourceFile=".\PreReq\CrystalReportsXIR2\Setup.exe"/> <LayoutFile SourceFile=".\PreReq\CrystalReportsXIR2\setup.ini"/> <LayoutDirectory Name="win32"> <LayoutFile SourceFile=".\PreReq\CrystalReportsXIR2\win32\CrystalReports.cab"/> .....
