The file is renamed from "Remote Desktop Connections.msi" to msrdpcl_.msi because system setup is unhappy installing LFN files. Postbuild then generates msrdpcli.msi from this file The MSI file is processed during postbuild to 1) stream in a new cab file with this build's client binaries 2) stream in this builds custom.dll (custom action dll) 3) update file version tables and file size information to reflect current files 4) rev product and package code as well as product version code
