I'm curious. What is a "suite admin installer .msi"?  An MSI that installs a 
bunch of MSIs? Is this using EmbeddedUI? Maybe I'm just confused.

I also couldn't parse this: " Since Wix does not support an admin chain install 
that creates a output .msi we are using InstallShield to create our chain 
installs to chain all out wix install projects."  Bundles certainly can chain 
together MSIs that require admin elevation. Is the issue here that you'd want 
your BA to be elevated as well?

No we are not doing nested installs. Since Wix does not support an admin chain 
install that creates a output .msi we are using InstallShield to create our 
chain installs to chain all out wix install projects.

We have quite a few wixlib 32 bit assemblies that we create to that gets 
installed and are required for a lot of out main products that we install, 
either standalone or chained into a suite admin installer .msi.

The wixlib's use the File Id - Assembly="win32" and AssemblyManifest elements 
so that they are correctly registered as assemblies on the machines in the GAC.

As for the shortcuts we have them defined as following:
<Shortcut Id="StartMenu_NB_Shortcut" Directory="SMARTIconFolder"
Target="[INSTALLDIR]Notebook.exe" Name="SMART Notebook 14"
Icon="NB_ARP_Icon" Show="normal" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR" />

Where Icon=NB_ARP_Icon is the Icon Id to the source .ico file.

So when you say you use resource only native DLL are you referring to a dll 
that contains all your icon resources and you just point to the correct 
IconIndex? We used sort of do that, but we just pointed to the main .exe file 
and the correct IconIndex, but we found out that this duplicates the .exe in 
the installer for resources and therefore increased the sizes of our installers 
quite a bit, especially if the .exe files were large....
