Hi Sascha, Thanks for the reply. You mentioned something about Burn EXE in your previous post. Any idea how to use this tool? Thanks in advance

What you're after is generally termed a "bootstrapper". This is coming in WiX 3.5 (I think?) under the tool named "burn". In the meantime, you've got a number of choices.. there's a bootstrapper included with Visual Studio (check the docs). If you're after a "single compressed exe" rather than two files (setup.exe + setup.msi) on disk you can create a self-extracting-exe using WinRar or similar. Or you can write your own. Your call. Personally we use the commercial bootstrapper included with MSI Factory, none of the free options were as flexible as what was included with InstallShield (we've only recently migrated) and after a bit of research we decided shelling out for a license worked out cheaper than putting something together in-house :) Search the archives though, someone else might have mentioned something else that I missed when trying to find a solution. There are a number of threads on the topic.
