You basically posted a security vulnerability. Not sure how that is a solution.

Hi Rob,

Yes, I totally agree with you in this issue. That is why my last item in the list is "Apology to the Burn creators for not building installers using the best practice." This is just an experiment I came up with during my time trying to hack the current implementation of Burn. The reason why I posted this is because there are many people that have tried to find a solution for this issue.

For those who are not concerned about security, you could do this at your own risk. Otherwise, I strongly encourage taking Rob's advice and the Wix team's point of view in security.

Good luck to all.
