Victor, that's a very good idea to use standard MSI generated with WiX! Instead of adding 'Program Files\OpenSC' directory to PATH, it might be better to put all the deps (libopensc.dll, zlib.dll, iconv.dll, etc) into WinSxS [1] and only put the pkcs11 libraries in 'Program Files\OpenSC'. Polluting global DLL namespace (either by putting DLLs in Windows\System32 or adding DLL files to PATH) makes it very hard for other packages to ship DLL files with the same names.
