Thanks Rob for the script!
The reason I say it's messy is because it if one wants to add different functionality not supported by native WiX one needs to add another script…then another and so on.
For just solving one problem it's fine, fore more it starts getting a bit messy :)
Keep everything in one dll with exposed methods is a bit cleaner, but…there are buts…it gets proprietary and if not documented no one can figure it out without looking at the source code. So in the end this is also probably not the best way to go.
Ideally it should be in the WiX extensions…and it probably will in time :)
Regards
Morten
