hii Dave, As you said u are looking for a way to create a boostrapper that checks if the prerequisiites exist, installs any that are missing, and then launches my setup.exe and gets out of the way.
You can achieve this by searching the values that let you know about the prerequisiites are installed or not. For example, you can search for Registry Key to know if .Net Framework is installed or not. You can store the result of this search to a Variable which will create your installing condition. depending on this conditions you can either download or install prerequisiites and proceed with your installer. Sample code- to check whether .Net framework is installed or not - <util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5" Value="SP" Variable="NetFx35" /> <util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5" Value="SP" Variable="Netfx35x64" Win64="yes" /> Variable NetFx35 will set to 1 if .Net is installed. Now use this variable to set your condition.
