We use Wix and the MSBuild GenerateBootstrapper too. We use
IExpress.exe to to combine everything into a single executable.
IExpress is part of IE so, you probably already have it.

Subject: [WiX-users] Prevent MSI to be invoked directly
Hi,
I made a MSI installer using Wix and a bootstrapper using the
msbuild GenerateBootstrapper task, it creates a setup.exe and a msi
file, but the msi can be invoke directly overcoming the checks made by
the bootstrapper and there are checks on the bootstrapper that are
difficult to include as conditions to prevent the installer from
running.
Is there any way to do any of this :
- avoid the msi from unless is started by the bootstrapper (some
kind of condition)
- merge the bootstrapper and the msi in only one file and start
the setup.exe when the merged file is started.
- any other suggestion ?
I tried to change the extension of the msi to .dat and start
that file from the setup.exe but it doesn't work as i expected.
Thanks,
Ricardo Lopes.
