Here is what I use to install .NET and MainInstall:

    <Chain>
      <PackageGroupRef Id="Netfx4Full"/>

                  Compressed="no"
                  Permanent="no"/>
    </Chain>
  </Bundle>

Subject: [WiX-users] Looking for a simple default bootstrapper

Hello,

I arrived at WiX after some years of IS. 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>
  

I guess I'm not alone...

I hope for your ideas!

Bernd
