Yes, but nothing free I'm aware of :) We use "IRMakeBootstrap" that is a component of MSI Factory (http://www.indigorose.com/products/msi-factory/) - you don't need to use MSI Factory, the bootstrapper is a self-contained component that can be integrated into any build process. Unfortunately an MSI Factory license is $500 and they don't appear to offer the bootstrapper as a standalone product.
For us the license was well worth the cost when compared to developing something in house. At that stage dotNetInstaller wasn't on our radar (or regularly mentioned on this list for that matter, I first heard about well after we migrated) so we started looking at free solutions, commercial solutions or developing something in house. The trial version is completely functional as far as I could tell the only difference is a message box saying that it was created with a trial license when running the bootstrapper. One of these days I'll get around to seeing if dotNetInstaller will do what we need, but what we've got is working so it's not a high priority ;) Sascha On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 11:10 PM, Sajo Jacob <spja...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is there a better alternative to dotNetInstaller for chaining MSI's, MSU's > and EXE files? > > dotNetInstaller is terrible in quiet mode with no options/documentation on > what parameters to pass when a component install fails etc (e.g Continue > Yes/No) > > Thanks, > Jacob > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate > GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
