Importing existing MSI?

I'm trying to update/customize an existing MSI to change a few things. Is there a way to import the MSI and create an InstallScript MSI project out of it?


So far I've just opened up the MSI directly and made some changes in Direct Edit Mode (customized some config files, made it run a custom VBScript Action). However I'm not quite sure how to make bigger changes.

Mainly I'm wanting to change the default directory everything gets installed to. I'm more familiar with customizing Installscript functions, haven't done much with MSI actions directly. "Files and Folders" is a bit weird, I don't even see the actual .exe that runs as a service. I probably just need to poke around with the Actions and find one to change the default INSTALLDIR I guess and leave the files alone.


Thanks!
