Tnx for that. I'm just always looking for the "why?"...

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrap example
We don't use MSBuild and this is just a subset of the actual functionality that
is in the method we use. We have a custom build API that incorporates this
code. The code that I have written is much more robust and allows for
configuration / logging options beyond what the setup.proj offers. I just
posted this as a starting place for someone who would rather programatically
generate the setup.exe.

I'm not sure why you actually created a console app to do that?
If you put this in a file called setup.proj:
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003
">
<ItemGroup>
<BootstrapperFile Include="SQL.2005.Backwards.Compatibility">
<ProductName>SQL 2005 Backwards Compatibility</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Web.Services.Enhancements.2.0.SP2">
<ProductName>WSE 2.0</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="BuildBootstrapper">
<GenerateBootstrapper
ApplicationFile="MyInstall.msi"
ApplicationName="My Product"
<!-- ApplicationUrl=http://mycomputer <http://mycomputer/>
-->
BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)"
<!-- Path="" not needed if the SDK is installed otherwise
copy the
the folders of the Bootstrapper directory to a known
(relative) location -->
ComponentsLocation="Relative"
CopyComponents="true"
OutputPath=".\output" />
</Target>
</Project>
And then run form the SDK command prompt:
msbuild setup.proj
You should achieve the same. That relieves you of having to compile
stuff.
And you can call the wix compile and link tasks also from the
setup.proj file

The following example generates a setup.exe using the SDK bootstrapper.

Hi there,
Does anyone have an example bootstrap program I can get a hold
of or can
they point me in the right direction.
I've got an MSI that I want/need to install followed by another
one and then
I need to run a self extracting executable (although this can
probably be
done as a custom action)
Am I constrained in which language this is written in as well
Cheers
