[wix-users] McAfee products bundle

[Douglas, Keith (STATCAN)]

Anyone have any experience creating a bundle for the McAfee Agent, VSE and HIPS? These seem to be really messy things to install, lots of loose files and such. Is there a good way to learn (reverse engineer) where the install boundaries are so I can safely do this? For example, the "package" (really an archive) for the update to VSE that the folks that maintain this product for us sent along contains:

!ReadMe.html
deferred.mfe
immediate.mfe
Patch7.msp
PkgCatalog.z
Setup.exe
Setup.ini
VIRUSCAN8800(448).zip
VIRUSCANREPORTS120(272).zip
VSE880Det.mcs

Should I create a package to install the archive and then just custom action-run setup.exe? Does it matter where I sequence this? I figured since it will need Windows Installer I would want to try After=InstallFinalize etc. Of course that won't be transactional, etc. but ...
