>> but it require the msi installer to be near the bootstrapper.exe.

I'm not sure what you mean.  In the MsiPackage I use the following, (with a
bindpath defined in the wixproj):

    Compressed='no'
    DownloadUrl='<url to the staging location>{2}'
    SourceFile='de-DE\Project.msi'
    Name=BundleOutputSubFolderPath\Project_de-DE.msi'

One way to define the source path is:
    <LinkerAdditionalOptions>
      $(LinkerAdditionalOptions)
      -b Project=<source path to project files>\Project
    </LinkerAdditionalOptions>

I am sure there are other ways to do this, but what this does is take a
Project.msi in its culture specific output folder, rename it and move it to
a folder tree under the Bundle's output folder.  (I renamed it because I
also place all of the other culture specific packages and the identical
external cab file in the same folder.)  It also sets a DownloadUrl which
uses the new name of the package.  I upload the BundleOutput folder tree to
the URL location, and deploy (email or whatever) the Bundle.exe to a user. 
When the bundle is launched it downloads the the msi packages from the web
server.  I use an mba, but this functionality is supported in the WixStdBA. 
The wix source includes the Setup folder, which implements the Wix Toolset
setup, which is a web based setup.  I'm not sure if this info is helpful to
your question.
