## Process ##

As shown in [[IT/AD/WiX/Concepts/XPS/File/Schema/]] the basic file schema is:

    <wix namepace="...">
      <!-- describes the app being installed -->
        <product>
          <!-- describes the msi package of the product -->
       <package/>
       <!-- describes the cab's within the msi -->
       <media/>
        </product>
    </wix>


The `product` tag is created with a unique id as follows:

    <product Id="c2a7..."
             Manufacturer="XAct Software Solutions, Inc."
             Name="TheProduct"
             Version="0.0.1"
             UpgradeCode="d4e3...">
      <Package InstallerVersion="200"
               Compressed="yes"
               Manufacturer="XAct Software Solutions, Inc."
               Description="A wonderful app!"
               Comments="..."
               Platform="x86"
               InstallerPriveleges="elevated"
               InstallScope="perMachine"/>

>Note:  
Product != Package
