If you're looking for an Open Source solution in the spirit of WiX,
then I'd probably recommend using NSIS or something similar, or the
Microsoft Bootstrapper.

If you're looking for something "off the shelf", I personally ended up
purchasing a license for MSI Factory
(http://www.indigorose.com/products/msi-factory/) just for the
bootstrapper application included with it. It provided some features
we needed and the License fee is less that it would have cost us to
build our own. YMMV.
