Re: [WiX-users] Editing files from the Bootstrapper Application

Re: [WiX-users] How to change browse directory dialog ?

Re: [WiX-users] Editing files from the Bootstrapper Application

There is no reason to be honest. They can end up being in the same MSI in different features. I have 2 MSI's now, because after migrating from 3.5 to 6, I decided to use Burn. This meant removing my Merge Modules (msm A B) (since it's not recommended anyway). So I converted them into msi's
