Have you had any success in somehow using that bootstrapper with WiX
generated MSI?

Can you share some insights/experiences?
 
For me installing SP1 turned out into a "progress bar sits there not
moving anywhere for hours" experience so the whole idea of a smaller
"Client Profile" footprint turned out to be as ridiculous as 'learning'
about boolean logic and set theory when it comes to 'MSI components'
just to discover that Registry patching has no idea what the component
is. Say that the Emperor has no clothes and nobody will even pay
attention, so pre-programmed they are.

I mean, at this point I would gladly install 4 GB of code from scratch
because I know it would be way faster than this 'intelligent' VS2008 SP1
+ NET 3.5 SP1 upgrade.

I've been waiting for this so I can embed the bootstrapper into my MSI
and
avoid a bloaty download.
