Take a look at putting them all in one transaction using MsiBeginTransaction() and MsiEndTransaction(). You'll need MSI 4.5 though. I've done this and it seems to work well, although I haven't dealt with any exceptional issues like reboots in the middle.

For example: I have to deploy App1.msi, App2.msi and App3.msi, the bootstrapper will check for .Net 3.5 as pre-requisites. If App1 and App2 installed successfully but App3 failed, I have to rollback all files installed by App1 and App2. After I spend few hours on the internet, I can only find information how to check pre-requisites and deploy one product. <Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";> <ItemGroup> <BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Net.Framework.3.5"> <ProductName>Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> </ItemGroup> <Target Name="Bootstrapper"> <GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile="WixBootstrapSample.msi" ApplicationName="Wix Sample" BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)" OutputPath=".\" ComponentsLocation="HomeSite" Culture="en" /> </Target> </Project> Can anyone give me some hints how to deploy 3 installers and rollback the changes if any of those installer failed?
