I've been seriously considering it for years. WiX v4 is the first time I

To be very clear, Burn is not an installation engine. It bootstraps the
installation process and chains packages to create a unified experience.
You still need an installation engine.
Creating an installation engine in WiX is not something to consider until

We also have a graphics package to deploy and using an msi is too slow
. To many files and too large and the msi doesn't support other
I don't think that will work. I tried putting in the path to an
executable but burn wants to lay down executable to so the link fails.

How about using ExePackage to run windows cmd and the command-line you
need to run with the /c switch

I am trying to use burn as bootstrapper.I have figured out how to
install sql server express and the third party msi's as part of the
software suite we deliver . I need to be able to run command line
scripts between the msi and the install of sql server. I was hoping to
use the sql extension in wix
