Base MSI

Path to a custom MSI file used as the template for the build. Default = the Default.msi file shipped with MPDEV (a clean blank MSI with the standard MPDEV install dialog).

Use a custom baseMsi when you have an MSI that contains pre-built tables, icons, or custom actions you want to inherit. MPDEV merges your JSON configuration on top of the base MSI – any pre-built tables, icons, or custom actions in the base are preserved.
