Hello there Kalappa,
In terms of bootstapping, as a stop gap I'm using iexpress, it's free and comes with NT/2k/XP (just type iexpress in the run dialog from the start menu). It's all pretty easy from there, it also allows you to execute commands after the exe has extracted the .msi (i.e msiexec /I MSINAME blah blah blah)

Hi All,
This might be simple question.
When I compile my project I want .exe to be generated.
I do not want .msi file to be generated. Is it possible using WIX?
Do I need to create an exe file using bootstrapper and call my .msi file there?
Best Regards,
Kalappa Pattar

It's not possible with WiX. You need a bootstrapper.

You need to create an exe file using a bootstrapper and call your .msi file there. I believe they are working on a bootstrapper for WiX 3, but if you are using WiX 2 then you need to create it yourself.
