Wix: single MSI instead of msi + cab

Question

My Wix project creates install.msi and cab1.cab. How can I have it bundle everything into the msi? I will likely use 7-zip SFX to work around this but I have seen other apps with only a single msi.

Accepted Answer

You didn't post any source but I assume your wxs file has a Media element. Just set the EmbedCab attribute to "yes" in `MediaTemplate` e.g.

```
<MediaTemplate EmbedCab="yes" />
```
