[wix-users] Controlling the destination of the temp files

Hi everyone,



When we use:

      <Payload Name="redist\NDP46-KB3045557-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe"

               SourceFile="Prerequisites\.Net Framework 4.6\NDP46-KB3045557-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe"/>



The redist folder will be generated under:

%temp%\{guid}\ba1\redist\...



But when the bootstrapper tries to look for the source of package: NetFx46Redist, It will look where our container (.exe) is... and not in the temp dir.



Is there a way to tell it to look for the package in the ba1 folder?

Is there a way to tell the payload to extract to the WixBundleLastUsedSource where it currently looks for the file?


Thanks,

Roni (Aron) Fuchs
