Out of pure curiosity, why would you need to do your own custom bootstrapper? 
The WiX Burn bootstrapper is incredibly flexible and allows you to completely 
control everything I can imagine anyone would need. What does Burn not do that 
you need?



Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

I am looking into possibility of creating my own bootstrapper that tweaks the 
standard bootstrapper.



I assume that if I write my bootstrapper from scratch, I shouldn't run into 
complications, but if I start with the standard bootstrapper code and make some 
changes that fits my situation, I've created a derivative work and therefore 
would be required to make the source code publicly available. (At least 
according to Wikipedia)



I imagine there will be people looking to have a place to start with, and the 
standard bootstrapper source code is where they will probably go.



Has this been discussed? Are there any plans to address this? Perhaps a 
bootstrapper template that is released under less restrictive terms where 
derivative source code isn't required to be made public availability. Or 
perhaps a more configurable bootstrapper where dialogs can be suppressed and 
custom dialogs can be added.



Thanks



Darwin
