I'm trudging down the path of wrapping my MSI's in EXE's that unpack the MSI to a consistent filename, just to avoid this bug in Windows Installer. There are only about a bajillion rather skudgy-looking websites purporting to offer MSI->EXE converter utilities based around an SFX wrapper. I'm currently looking at using the 7-Zip Sfx for installers wrapper, mostly because it comes from a reliable source. Still, the wrapper adds about 100k of extra space and an additional decompression step. Is there a minimal Sfx (or other means) that just fixes this issue?
