Mmm, odd. I just did a standard AppSearch/FileSearch using only the MSI tables and a search for msi.dll in the System folder does not return a trailing slash on the end of the file name, using MSI 4.5. WiX doesn't get in the middle of a standard file search does it?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix or MSI bug ? Phil the bug is that the path returned by FileSearch is of the format C:\Directory\Filename.ext\ The trailing slash after the filename makes the path returned by FileSearch all but useless unless you use a custom action to remove it first, in which case you may as well just use a custom action to return the correct value in the first place.
