I meant that a user on a 32-bit Windows should see the pre-requisites
required for his 32-bit windows, and on 64-bit the ones that apply. You
could generalize this to various operating systems - lets say I have
Vista that requires update KB12345, so the pre-requisites should list
that (and not on my XP box). In addition, one very important and related
feature is allowing some updates to be embedded and some downloaded (if
most users on Vista usually have KB12345 I don't want to package it all
the time) - let them download it from Windows Update or My Product
Website, whichever is available.
Thx

1. Support 64-bit or more generally OS-switching for
pre-requisites.
"OS-switching"? Not sure what that means.
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.
Merge all dependencies into a single .EXE.
Command line tools for building the bootstrapper.
Support for unattended installation.
Improve semantics of identifying what is a pre-requisite and what's the
application (multiple MSIs for example or upgrade scenarios).
Pretty much all on the list, exposed via manifest or extensions (e.g.,
depending on how complicated you need for #6).
