then create six scheduled tasks to be run by escschd
You'll probably need a custom action for that, but
It will also get you (rightfully) ridiculed in blogs:

IMO it's crazy. You have to ask yourself WHY Windows Installer is the
corporate standard in the first place. MSI
Your CA_SetCDrive is not being run during uninstallation. You'll
notice the uninstall log refers to C:\CDrive\ all over the place.
I don't understand why you need that custom action at all. Can't you
hardcode C:\ into the Name attribute?

It was my understanding that putting full path into Name wouldn't work.

(Product ID and UpgradeCode are static, the Version (revision) is
incremented on each build.)
That's the definition of a minor upgrade.

That *is* a bootstrapper. It's not what Burn does, but it's still a
bootstrapper.
I think the original question doesn't make any sense.

Could also embed msi in a custom exe that calls the msi and closes?
-Original Message-
JPEG doesn't support transparency. Also, it's designed for
photograph-like pictures, so you'll likely get artifacts on things
like logos.
BMP can have transparency, but I don't know if MSI supports that
(before Windows 8 / Server 2012).

directory elements, 2 different component elements and 2 different file

Before I do this I have a custom action that copies the
