MSI table count.

This is not a problem I have, more an observation, but what influences how many MSI tables are built into a setup?

I was looking at some smaller IS setups and one or two have about 40+ tables and a larger project has about 120. I've noticed that some of my test IA projects have about 70 tables and others much less.

I always thought that a setup would have the same number of tables in the schema. But maybe the number of tables is proportionate to the number of features you use in a project such as shortcuts, services, etc. Is that what determines the number of MSI tables created?

I think InstallAware always creates the same baseline MSI.
