Installable/Browsable Documentation CD??

Does anyone know how to tell the MSI to not create a CAB but to use folders on the disk? I need to create a disk that is both "browsable" meaning the main HTML can be invoked to view contents without installing, AND be able to install the image so that the user does not need his disk.

This is a documentation CD so both are valid user cases but it is a 180MB mini disk so we are out of room because the install setup.exe effectively doubles the size of the image.

Most of the data is PDFs and does not compress very much. The setup.exe should be relatively small.

Anyone know how to do this?

Did you use 'Leave files uncompressed and separate from the installation package ' option in release wizard?
