I just wrote my own. All you need is a stub exectuable that knows how to extract and execute resources from its own image, plus a program to embed the resources into the stub.

You give winrar a filename to execute after it has extracted a fileset; that executable can handle spawning and prerequisites and your main MSI. Jon W wrote: > What are you using for a bootstrapper?
