I have an existing product that I need to break out into a few
individual products due to the large size.

As such, I would like to have:

  Core.msi - The core product needed by other products
  Add_On1
  Add_On2

The bootstrapper would contain and install Core.msi, then download and
install one or both of the other products depending upon the user's
selection.  The question is, "In what form should I create and install
Add_On1 and Add_On2?".  Note that Core, Add_On1, and Add_On2 all need
to be installed within the same directory.

Initially, I was hoping to create transforms by using msitrans.exe.
Then, the bootstrapper would merge the chosen transform and core.msi
at installtime.  However, transforms don't work with embedded cab
files, and I haven't been able to create a .mst that contains files.
Has anybody succeeded at creating a transform that adds files?

Should I create 3 msi products and have them all install into the same
directory?

Other ideas?

Thanks,
Jon
