That is what i was thinking, do you know if the bootstrapper generated by
the msbuild GenerateBootstrapper task passes some property to the msi ?
Thanks.

It's possible to include an MSI with an executable as a resource. The

extract the MSI before running it.
A simpler and quicker solution is to add a new property to the MSI
call. When your bootstrapper
calls the MSI, pass a property like STARTEDFROMBOOTSTRAPPER=1, and have a
launch condition on the
MSI that throws an error if STARTEDFROMBOOTSTRAPPER <> 1.
