It copies the file but I am not sure how then to execute it. I would rather execute the file than copy it. My previous installer experience is with InstallShield 11.5 and event hen it wasn't a lot of customization. Would it help greatly to learn MSI parallel to WiX? Or is learning the WiX environment sufficient?


You definitely need to know MSI -- WiX concepts are almost direct mappings to MSI functionality (except the custom actions, which are all WiX-specific).

In this case, MSI no longer supports "nested installations" so there's nothing WiX can do. A bootstrapper is in development, to allow you to chain multiple MSIs together.
