[wix-users] Deployment Tools Foundation Documentation: Working with Install Packages

[Joseph L. Casale]

This is not even valid code, the path in your using directive is an error.
You also don’t provide the type that 'files' is, it looks like a dictionary and if so, what is the value type, object? Cast to a string?

Hard to help here without all the actual code...
