Unfortunatly my knowlegde of MSI is rather limited :) I'm using Advanced
Installer to build MSI-Packages which is a very efficient tool but doesn't
require deeper knowledge of msi. You only have to know, which actions
(filecopies, shortcuts, registry, custom actions, rights, com etc.) have to
be done on setup and perhaps uninstall.
I will build a package with that tool and perhaps you can reverse engineer
the whole package then to WiX :)
