I have noticed that 3.7 includes a fix to set the cwd:
RobMen: SFBUG:3538846 - set current directory for ExePackages to their
cache location.

I've found using the @Name on Payload as well as MsiPackage and MspPackage
elements allows you to place the files in specific sub folders. So using
Name="payload\StealthConsole\Setup.exe" and
Name="payload\StealthConsole\StealthWebparts.wsp" would ensure the files are in
the same folder, however I seem to remember that the current working directory
of your EXE is not always the directory where the exe resides. Odds are
Setup.exe is dependent on the CWD to find the WSP file.
I seem to remember a request for a bug to be logged that the engine didn't set
the CWD to that of the exe before invoking it, but a quick search didn't show
any hits.

Subject: [WiX-users] Burn: Are EXE file and Payload content placed in the same
directory for an ExePackage?
Hello. As part of my bundle I have to deploy a SharePoint webpart and I use the
tool most people use for this and tool comes with a Setup.exe, an XML file
describing the installation and the WSP file to be deployed. I have the
following in my Bundle.wxs file:
<PackageGroup Id="DeployWebConsole">
<ExePackage Id="DeployWebConsole"
Cache="no" Compressed="no"
DisplayName="DeployWebConsole" PerMachine="yes"
Permanent="yes"
Vital="yes"
SourceFile="Binaries\StealthConsole\Setup.exe"
InstallCondition="InstallConsole=1" >
<PayloadGroupRef Id="StealthWebparts"/> </ExePackage> </PackageGroup>
With a Fragment describing the payload:
<Fragment>
<PayloadGroup Id="StealthWebparts">
<Payload SourceFile="Binaries\StealthConsole\StealthWebparts.wsp"/>
<Payload SourceFile="Binaries\StealthConsole\Setup.exe.config"/>
<Payload SourceFile="Binaries\StealthConsole\EULA.rtf"/>
</PayloadGroup>
</Fragment>
The Setup.exe finds the config file without problem but cannot find the WSP
file. Normally when all three are in the same directory the install works fine.
Any idea what could be going on?
Thanks!
