I wanted to make sure to be clear, per your request for clarity. You're welcome.

Yes. It is being overwritten. That is made very clear in the link that he sent you. The source code for the custom setup.exe file is in that link as well. Have you considered checking out the link he sent you? You should really read the link he sent you if you're interested in knowing what's going on at the programming level. Have I mentioned that the link he sent you would have answered your question? I just want to make that clear. Allow me to emphasize that you should really check out that link. You're welcome.

If TRID can detect MSIs created with Wix, then you should use dark.exe to decompile the MSI file. This should be preferred over MsiX.

i6comp does not use the copyrighted DLLs. The very first entry in the author's changelog is: 1) No more ZDxxx.DLL - compression/decompression (deflate) routines are statically linked in. Here is the original zip file as the author distributed it: http://xpdnc.org/i6comp.zip But if you're really worried about it, then just use unshield, which accomplishes the same thing without ZD*.DLL files. It's available on SourceForge, so you know it has a copyleft-friendly license. edit-- You can find the i6comp author's e-mail address and the aforementioned changelog in the i6comp.txt file that's included in the archive. Maybe e-mail him to see if he knows about the licensing terms? It's a crap shot, but it could get you somewhere.

Subtle advertising.
