no, when I said :

I meant the installer.msi needed to be in the same directory with the
bootstrapper.exe to be installed by the bootstrapper.exe otherwise it wont
be installed.

but what I need is more like adding the installer.msi as payload and point
the MsiPackage to the payload.
like :
<Payload Id="INS" SourceFile="installer.msi"/>
<MsiPackage SourceFile=INS" Compressed="no"/>

but this isn't working...
