I might be wrong but I think this has been asked a few times but not answered
(in fact I think there is even a feature request).
Well after writing the code to do this I discovered it already existed in

But at runtime this is moot since users won't have a copy of dark...
Hopefully the feature request will be acted on, since there is a command line
parameter to do so but it doesn't do anything :(
I ended up NOT compressing the pre reqs and my installs into the bundle exe so

Out of interest why would end users ever need this? I just thought it was handy

WiX is free they can always download it.

I have a RegistryValue that is added to a pre-existing key. The
RegistryValue is in a Component in a ComponentGroup in a Feature like so:

Component Id=W3SVCRegistryComponent

Once again I can confirm exactly the same behavior with my bundle and
one of the included MSI packages. I just didn't realize what I was
seeing until I saw your description. I also have a systray app that

Why do you use the Environment element? Modifying registry keys directly is

required to get them to really work out.

Same here, if it is something I can download from Microsoft (.NET, SQL etc.) I
leave it external; if it is ours it is internal. This means the bundle is 300Mb
