Tony, Also look into PaquetBuilder ( http://www.gdgsoft.com/pb/ ), it has features that setupbld.exe doesn't provide. Depending on your requirements for setup.exe / bootstrapper. For example, PB provides a language selection dialog. It does have drawbacks for automation (even when using "directive projects"), but can be wrangled to do the job.
