if you set the property Compressed="no" in the MsiPackage it will be not embedded into the Burn exe setup.If you want to copy the MsiPackage to a different location with a different Directory structure in the bin\Release you can set the property Name of the MsiPackage with the output path where to copy the MsiPackage after building the exe burn setup.In this case you need to have the MsiPackage in a known location at build time as the Burn Bundle as to know the package, if you don't have the MsiPackage at build time you can choose to Download it when the setup will execute using the DownloadUrl with the path for downloading the package (for example from a web location)
