Typically, you share setup authoring across organizations using Merge Modules (straight forward) or you can share full MSIs (consumer needs a chainer). After that you're looking for a hack... maybe you could automate a process around dark, but you'd want to test it really well since dark isn't really intended to work that way.

My client does not want to use Wise and we need to find out a way where my wise created MSI can be leveraged by them using WIX?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Newbee - How to convert MSI into XML and back toWIX MSI? Dark is the decompiler that authors wxs files but note, dark/candle/light don't really support roundtripping in a very easy way. It's really designed for people wanting to migrate to WiX and not go back so there is usually refactoring involved. For example, Wise drives dialogs with vbscript CA's from what I've seen. That's a no-no in WiX. Christopher Painter, Author of Deployment Engineering Blog Have a hot tip, know a secret or read a really good thread that deserves attention?
