Hi,

I would like to embed an entire directory including subfolders and files
into my MSI package, but how do I do that? The only option I can see, is
to add each file one at as a time with a <File> element. But that is not
  good as I have apprx. 1300 files that never changes and writing a File
element for each file seems like massive overkill to me.

Then, I've created a CAB file all my files and folders in. That's easy,
but how do I embed the premade CAB file and make WiX use it as source
instead of <File> elements?

Is this totally the wrong way or how can I do it?

I know this is against the philosophy of WiX, as it is stated the one
should have control over each and every file...

regards,
kews
