Hi,
When I run the administrative installation of the msi (msiexec /a setup.msi) I 
would like to also copy over files that are not contained in the msi (things 
like the setup.exe bootstrapper, etc). What is the best way to accomplish this?
I have tried populating the MOveFile table to copy these files and I have also 
written a C++ dll custom action to copy files.
Is there another method I have missed?
With MoveFile method, I find it gets pretty cumbersome if I have many files 
that I need to move and I have to duplicate this for every msi I develop.
But with the dll, it gets simpler to just run the same function in multiple 
msis to copy files over. Though having dll custom action is an admission of 
failure :)

Thanks!
