I'm creating four MSI's now, three MSI's are setting up each an WebService,
and, one main MSI that installs an clientapplication.
Today, these are separate MSI's, and will probably be that for those who
want to install separately.

But, the main MSI, we want to be made so it includes the other MSI's
somehow, preferably all linked in the main MSI file, so everything can be
installed, and choosed from an featuretree in that installation.

But, it seem that this might not be very easy?

If I choose bundle, I will get an EXE, not an msi file (since MSI supposedly
cannot start an msi?)
Bundle will not include the MSI either, they need to reside next to the
exe-file, or be downloadable from somewere.
Neither of those we want..

But, are there other ways of doing this?, is it kosher to make MSM modules
AND MSI modules for the service packages?, and include the MSM modules
inside the main one?
Or, is it better to include the wix sources from the service packaged into
the main MSI, and also use them in their own msi's?
I guess there will be problems with component id's, and I will get problems
with product codes, updates etc.. :(
