I'm not sure I understand the concern. My setup already lays the files down on
disk and consumes them. I just want to be able to remove them after setup is
complete, so they don't stick around taking space on the user's machine.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Temporary files in WiX?
Another reason why I have to use a different tool. Everyone in the WiX world
has to roll their own equivilant to InstallShield's ISSetupFile table (
actions ISSetupFilesExtract and ISSetupFilesCleanup ). Again, this seems to
be driven by philosphy as Rob recently posted a whole explanation saying he's
corncerned about man in the middle style attacks if a file was extracted and
then consumed by an elevated setup. His preferred solution seems to be that
the MSI team support companion files in the CA sandbox but it's very unlikely
that they will ever write that.

Is there such a thing as temporary files during a wix install? We’re shipping
some redist installers as part of our installer, and they only need to be on
the end user’s machine for the duration of install. What’s the right way in WiX
to indicate they’re temporary and should be cleaned up after install is
finished?
Thanks!
