Hi all,
I've recently started work on a desktop installer for our mobile app. I decided it would be good time to learn WiX, so I'm using WiX to create the desktop installer. I have the basics finished: I can install the mobile app through ActiveSync, as MS recommends, but what we require is a desktop installer to detect if the right NetCF is installed, and if it isn't, then install it. Microsoft offers, and recommends, a redistributable with all the cab files to deploy the various device platforms supported packaged as an MSI. This MSI detects which version to pass to the device. Now, I've done enough reading about WiX and installers to know that calling a second MSI from inside an MSI is verboten, or fraught with difficulty. I've also looked into a bootstrapper-type deployment, but I'm not sure how to proceed with it. Can I use the .NET CF msi that Microsoft gives developers to do the work for me inside my installer? If I have to create a bootstrapper, how do I do that?
