Just trying to add the vc 2010 runtime to my bundle.

The installation files available to me on our network are :

P:\Projects\Updates\VS2010_x86\vc_red.msi
P:\Projects\Updates\VS2010_x86\vc_red.cab

(not sure why we dont just use vcredist_x86.exe...)

I add these to my bundle as:

  <Fragment>
    <PackageGroup Id="VC2010">

      <MsiPackage Id="VC2010.x86" Cache="no" Compressed="no" 
Permanent="yes" Vital="yes"
                  SourceFile="P:\Projects\Updates\VS2010_x86\vc_red.msi"
                  Name="Updates\VS2010_x86\vc_red.msi">

        <Payload Id="vc_red.cab"
                 SourceFile="P:\Projects\Updates\VS2010_x86\vc_red.cab"
                 Name="Updates\VS2010_x86\vc_red.cab"
                 Compressed="yes"/>
       </MsiPackage>
    </PackageGroup>
  </Fragment>

&

    <Chain>
...      
      <PackageGroupRef Id="VC2010"/>

But when i build the installer i get a Light error:

Could not find file 'P:\Projects\Updates\VS2010_x86\*install.exe*'.

What is going on here?  If i substitute vc_red.msi for another msi somewhere
else, then it works fine.  Light just seems to object to this particular
one, and where is it getting 'install.exe' from?

Confused!
