I often wonder whether to exclude MSI Installer files from app-v packages or not when packaging files locally. Note your template doesn’t include C:windowsinstaller, so thought i’d ask…
Given that in theory it’s a single package and isn’t going to need to do a repair etc, is it always safe to exclude c:windowsinstaller from a package?
@Paul – if you exclude the windows installer folder you might well find you get missing icons for your shortcuts. Another thing to be aware of is that if you upgrade your application then you might need the cached installer kept somewhere.

P.S. might start using this template ;p
Nice share Nicke.
