Have you had any success in somehow using that bootstrapper with WiX
generated MSI?
Can you share some insights/experiences?
For me installing SP1 turned out into a "progress bar sits there not
moving anywhere for hours" experience so the whole idea of a smaller
"Client Profile" footprint turned
Ok, all valid points and need to be looked at. But, what about my original
question?

Make sure you clear out any old *.wixobj files each time you build. I
run into this if I rename something and don't flush the wixobjs. At

I'm currently authoring the installer to our product which is an add-on to

I am new to the WiX community and I appreciate any assistance provided here.
I want to create a web setup package that has these two options:
1. Full build.

Hi Phil,
Neither. Because the original install was a done in a very old version of
InstallShield, I'm just using elements and letting the Installer Server
just do a straight copy over the existing files. ProductCode and UpgradeCode
are in effect, brand new.
Thanks,
Jeff
