You want a package group (which contains the MSI and payload files). If you want, you can include the package group in a container (a single file that contains all the packages/payloads). But containers are just a delivery mechanism; they're not involved in how a package is installed. > That is where heat came in. I don't think Heat has been updated to harvest files for a bundle. But it's not clear to me that you need it. The WiX binder will automatically "harvest" the loose files that an .msi refers to. So try a PackageGroup with an MsiPackage child that points to the POS .msi. Use PackageGroupRef in your Chain to include the package in the chain. If you want a container, use PackageGroupRef to include the POS package group into the container. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
