You must be using Votive, the Visual Studio plugin for WiX. I don't use
that so, I'm not sure I can help. But, the xml file that you have for
creating the bootstrapper is essentially a Visual Studio project. You
might try adding it to the solution that your WiX project is in, it
might work. Make sure you have a backup because it might blow up in
your face too!

Not sure, he's not in today, but I've been doing pretty well with Wix
and it seems very straight forward. Does Wix have prebuild commands?
Or something like that so I can have the bootstrapper get made without
having to manually go to the command line?

Team Foundation Server. I honestly don't know. My product manager just
told me to look into Wix because TFS supports it

You're confusing me. By "tfs", do you mean Team Foundation Server? If
so, how does it not support MSBuild?
