Before that even, I suggest explaining what this is about. Cygwin has a working installer. You're proposing creating a new installer for Cygwin which looks just like the current one. Why? I can imagine possible reasons, but without knowing some good ones it sound like a great deal of work for no ga

Something along the lines of this: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_dotnet.htm ? Also, the Windows SDK has a tool (WiDiffDb.vbs) that does a diff between two MSIs. Either smoke.exe (from the WiX toolset) or MsiVal2 or even the Orca tool (from the SDK) can run validations. -Origi
