My WiX project has a handful of prerequisites, for example, the 
application requires .NET 3.5 SP1. My WiX project correctly does not run 
unless SP1 is installed. I understand that this needs to be done in a 
bootstrapper. However, after a couple of hours of reading on the 
Internet and experimenting, I'm feeling like I'm not getting anywhere.

So... I tried something simple, to use setupbld to wrap a test MSI. When 
I run the created setup.exe either from the command line or by 
double-clicking on it, nothing seems to happen. Is there debugging 
information for the created setup.exe?

Here's the command line that I use to build:

PS O:\projects\TestInstall\bin\Debug> setupbld -o setup.exe -msu 
TestInstall.msi -title "Test Setup.exe" -setup "C:\Program Files\Windows 
Installer XML v3\bin\setup.exe"

This is what I see when I run:

PS O:\projects\TestInstall\bin\Debug> .\setup.exe
PS O:\projects\TestInstall\bin\Debug>

In other words, I immediately get back the command prompt.
