Thanks Bob,
We're going to give a shot at
http://www.devage.com/Wiki/ViewArticle.aspx?name=dotnetinstaller&version
=0, it has most of the stuff I need. The few things it's missing (and
we're likely to implement, and you might want to hear about since you'll
be doing a more flexible bootstrapper one day) are:
1. Support 64-bit or more generally OS-switching for
pre-requisites.
2. Include allowing both embedded and downloadable components -
package .NET framework for 32bit for example as a more common scenario
and offer users to download the 64-bit one.
3. Merge all dependencies into a single .EXE.
4. Command line tools for building the bootstrapper.
5. Support for unattended installation.
6. Improve semantics of identifying what is a pre-requisite and
what's the application (multiple MSIs for example or upgrade scenarios).
Cheers
dB.

I know there has been discussions on the wix lists about bootstrappers.
I couldn't find anything conclusive on that...
In the works, no estimates.<g> The goal is to provide extensibility
points for just about everything, including UI, so you can easily swap
out with whatever look and feel you want.
