Steve Dower added the comment: Burn bundles are part of Wix, but it's the part you don't like :) If you just want a single MSI, you won't want a bundle. But you will have to leave out nearly half of the features I listed because they simply are not possible without it. --

R. David Murray added the comment: Steve, when we changed installers was that when we also fixed the security/permissions problems with the install dir? If permissions are the issue the OP's problem may have nothing to do with it not being msi. --
