I just started using WiX last week.  I've managed to create a wxs file 
and successfully compile it into an msi file.  The msi file seems to 
work fine by double clicking on it.  I tried using setupbld to wrap the 
msi in a setup.exe, but when I attempt install using the generated .exe 
I get the following error message:

Source file not found:
C:\Users\dag\AppData\Local\Temp\{xxx...xxx}\cab1.cab
Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

The file it is looking for does NOT exist in the indicated folder. All 
that is in there is my msi file.  I don't know what cab1.cab is.  I 
don't reference one in the wxs file.

I generate the .exe using the following command:

setupbld.exe -o <filename>.exe -m <filename>.msi -setup C:\Program Files 
(x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\setup.exe

The wxs is very basic.  It installs two files in a destination folder, 
the path to which it determines by performing a RegistrySearch.

Can anyone help me to understand what is going wrong?

Not sure if seeing the wxs file would help, but I can provide that if 
needed.

Thanks.

Dave
