Hi;
This looks great. Two questions. First the easy one - which version of the
WIndows installer do I need to require so I can then run my wix install.
Second, how do I tie this in to my installer? Is there a way in it to include
it with my MSI and/or have it start downloading & running my msi when it's done?
thanks - dave

Hi;
That looks great except... It does not include the two we need - .NET 2.0 and
J# 2.0.
thanks - dave

Dave,
You could have a look at the "Microsoft Component Installer" (PSetup). It
provides a bootstrap that will install your redistributables and then your app.
The redistributables can be got from local source or the web.

Hi;
We have had feedback from 4 potential customers that having .NET 2.0 as a
prerequisite with the message taking them to the download made our installer
"too difficult and too complicated" (and note - these are programmers!)
So we need to have installing the .NET framework (and J# redist) as an
automatic part of our install. So my questions are:
1) Is it better to have the redist in our install, or have it that when they
click Next it downloads it and runs it automatically?
2a) If it's include it, anything special we have to do to have this in our
installer?
2b) If it's download and run, how do we set that up to go?
thanks - dave
