[WiX-users] Copy fonts to folder. Without installing them.

Hello, I need to copy my own fonts to a folder other than c:\windows\fonts. So I don't want to install them. This is because the application I develop (with DynamicPDF) needs to include this files (DynamicPDF can't handle installed fonts) and I want to reference to a folder without concerning

I think I recall you sometimes have to reboot and/or restart the Msiexec service after setting MsiBreak because the Service Control Manager doesn't get the env update.  I haven't used it in a long time so I could be wrong.  on the C#/DTF side I tend to use MessageBox during intitial development
