Currently I explore WiX and learn how it can be used for our products. I've come so far that I am a proud creator of a small working MSI. But now I guess I have "burnt" my fingers at the bootstrapper idea :) I need a bootstrapper that installs the .NET framework (if missing) and then launches the "main" MSI. But as far as I can see, all the default bootstrapper implementations have their own GUI which should replace the MSI's GUI (license dialog, selecting installation location). Is there any default bootstrapper _without_ a GUI? Or do I really have to create my own bootstrapper application for that?!? I noticed that people become creative to achieve a simple bootstrapper: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14431962/alternatives-to-wix-burn-bootstrapper-can-the-install-shield-le-boot-strapper <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14431962/alternatives-to-wix-burn-bootstrapper-can-the-install-shield-le-boot-strapper> I guess I'm not alone... I hope for your ideas!
