Well, it all depends on your definition of "bootstrapper"? I have a

The short answer is that you call MsiInstallProduct and when it returns you're

Unfortunately, we don't own the DifxApp code. It seems like the
Condition on the Component should work but the DIFXApp team would have
to tell you if/why it does not.

But I guess it makes sense to do so. It will be a lot more clean that
