Ah. So let's make sure we're clear, there's a difference between
asking for "can I write files during install to a temporary location"
vs. "can I clean up some files I've installed to program files after
install" J
Yep. MSI doesn't have the concept of transient files, otherwise you
could just install them normally. The "temporariness" is a risk only
when you're installing to a per-user location and then elevating.
Another alternative is to use a chainer/self-extractor that extracts the
files and cleans them up but doesn't install them via MSI. The DirectX
redist itself does that, but it wants to put up its own UI, so it's
kinda funky looking in the middle of another install.
