I am attempting to build a project which contains a couple of rtf files outside the msi. I have built a small Project.wxs that displays the issue. In the project I have two components, each with a single file. One is embedded, the other may not be. When the Package is set to Compressed="yes" the external file cannot be found - the msi expects it to be in the SourceRoot, even though it is supposed to be in a subordinate folder. If all files are compressed, or the Package default is Compressed="no", everything works correctly. If not compressed, the licenseagreement.rtf should be in SourceRoot/RTF.
Adding a Layout directive to the uncompressed media has no effect (if the Package default is compressed). The Source directive is apparently only for patches, and is ignored.
