Is there are manual cabinet file's preparing VS automatic cabinet file's creation during building wix project?

Or may be this is something else ?

MediaTemplate replaced Media and is available starting in WiX 3.8. Take a read at:

WiX and cabinetry

Basically the Media element took a lot of code to describe what to do when you had more then 1 CAB file. The MediaTemplate element is syntactical sugar that reduces this to one line.

Many smaller installers with just 1 CAB won't care one way or the other. But when you start to build large MSIs it'll help.
