Thanks for the input, Phill. I fear am fighting an uphill battle on this. WiX 
is new to people (including our installation team) and people are unsure what 
to make of all of this.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MSU / raw cab

I do not really know the answer to your latest questions.  In a wix context I 
think I would use the Wix:MsuPackage and let it handle those details (but I 
have not had the ocassion to do that yet).  I have previously installed msu 
packages in a non-wix setup using wusa.exe "package-name.msu" /quiet /norestart

I was aware that the actual install packages could be extracted from the msu, 
and that there is an xml file, but I just used the wusa.exe tool rather than 
going that route.  Given that there is a Wix designed feature for this I would 
try to make use of that feature.
