You can modify your .wixproj file and add an AfterBuild target, and from that either use an MSBuild 'Exec' or 'MSBuild' task to build your bootstrapper, see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/7z253716.aspx for a list of the available MSBuild tasks. <Target Name="AfterBuild"> <MSBuild Projects="bootstrapper\bootstrapper.sln" /> </Target> This is for version 3, by the way - I don't know whether WiX 2 includes MSBuild integration or not. Alternatively, you could just create a solution containing both projects.
