In case anyone else struggles with this I figured it out. The below suggestion was only part of the problem. First, in the Package element, you have to add the attribute Compressed="yes". Then in the Media attribute you have to add the EmbedCab="yes" and also by adding that it requires the attribute of Cabinet="NameYouChoose.cab". What threw me off was when it required the Cabinet attribute I thought it was asking for your external cab file, as in something you were providing, but actually it is internally producing that file so you can give it any name you want, if you don't choose Embed cab then if Compressed="yes" is set on the Package then I assume instead of copying your files to the output, it creates a cad and outputs it, but by embedding it instead of getting a cab file in the output it is included in the MSI. Hope this clears it up for any other beginners that are having trouble getting started.
