It'd be nice if there was some easy way to leverage the "redist" directory in
your own Packages without a massive effort.
Setting "Name" attribute of MsiPackage only works if you have the package
embedded in your bundle. It completely ignores it in the case of a DownloadUrl
e.g.
<MsiPackage Id="MS_MPI_x64"
SourceFile="redist\mpi_x64.msi"
Name="="redist\mpi_x64.msi""
Compressed="no"
DownloadUrl="http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/8/D/38D18861-67DE-4E66-92C7-6819D8B07210/mpi_x64.msi";
/>
still expects the mpi_x64.msi package to exist in the same directory as the
bundle itself not the redist subdirectory.
I had the same problem using ExePackage too. I'm assuming I'd need to remove
the SourceFile attribute & use the RemotePayload Element as per WiXNetExtension
does for the .NET packages for this to work.

Good point Rob. Our QA just whines me constantly that the installation
package has weird structure. I'll have to use Mr. Delambre's approach :-)
Thank you both for your replies
