Using an msi output only, is it possible to install prereq's first via wix? Specifically, I need to install the VC2008/2013 runtimes, and these must be completed before the product install begins or the install will fail. (Have tried installing the merge modules, but it appears that these install alongside the product, not first.)
NOTE: The output MUST be an msi, not an exe, since we need to be able to use group policy as an install mechanism, so using setupbld.exe to create a bootstrapper application unfortunately isn't an acceptable solution. My understanding is that similarly, burn.exe will only output an exe, not an msi.
