Patrick, I'm looking at doing something very similar (albeit with Office 2003 for now). I'd be interested in what you find out, since I'm just starting with WiX as well. If you want to detect Office 2007 though, couldn't you just look at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\12\ and see if it exists?

You need to make sure that your bootstrapper has one of the magical Vista strings within it like "setup" or "install". This will instantly elevate the priveledges within Vista unless it has a corresponding Manifest file telling it not to. I get the impression that you're calling the MSI file dir
