I'm not complaining because the <msi> task is very useful, but I'm wondering if there is any reason behind some of the structure being the way it is. I'm looking specifically at the dialogs section. To me it would seem most logical to have <controls> as a nested element of the <dialog> node, and then have <controlevents> and <controlconditions> as nested elements of the <control> node. This would make the task easier to write and cleaner to read.
I can understand that it might be easier to parse and process the file the way it is as it better reflects the structure of the msi database so perhaps that is why it is like that. Is there any other reason for it being the way it is?
Any chance of getting it changed (or perhaps a new <msi2> task so it doesn't break all the existing scripts)
Cheers,
Bill
