[wix-users] How do I handle SetupFilesCleanup and SetupFiles Extract in Wix

[Rob Mensching]

The things built into the WiX Toolset are the things the community has built and contributed freely. If you think something is missing, you could contribute it or ask or pay someone else to do it for you.


PS: v4.0 is under development not at all intended for production.

Thx !
I upgraded to v4.0 but there ran into a bunch of issues. Light.exe fails with error Value cannot be null. 
I read about it and it seems the issue was fixed in 3.6. So, for now I will continue on 3.5 maybe I will have to write custom actions around those tasks.

But I wonder how everybody else is handling the extraction of the msi  . I thought it should be something inbuilt in Wix.
