DongFang, Breaking the limitations you have observed is probably not possible in WiX since WiX is just a mechanism for authoring files which are then handled by Microsoft Installer. Unfortunately, if what you are attempting to accomplish is not handled by Microsoft Installer itself (and I would agree there are, IMHO some questionable oversights) then WiX won't help make the solution easy. While WiX may be open source, Microsoft installer is not, and so we are either left at the mercy of Microsoft (who would need an appropriate business justification for any such modifications) or find ourselves in the situation of writing lots of custom actions (bearing in mind that we must do so *very carefully* to avoid a fragile installation process).
Good luck with your installation challenges!

I'll improve my attitude towards WiX and Windows Installer. BTW, you didn't answer my question. How to break those limitations ?
