Ok, looks like i solved the problem in a different way. The first problem i had was not being able to create a bootstrapper. I actually found an installer editor that was quite intuitive,
but it had the problem it would not merge the files in a single executable item. Then using 7zip i made a self extracting self executing package, that combined with the bootstrapper seems to be working qite fine. > From: r...@ryanoneill.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 14:23:49 +0000 > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to: using the MSBuild to create a bootstrapper > for .Net 2.0 > > Can you restate the problem you are having as I don't understand from the > text below what your question is? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Matteo Nicolotti [mailto:eversor...@hotmail.com] > Sent: 11 February 2010 13:23 > To: WixUsers MailingList > Subject: [WiX-users] How to: using the MSBuild to create a bootstrapper for > .Net 2.0 > > > Following advice from his newsletter i was looking around to find a how to > guide to create a bootstrapper to create a combined installer for my > application and the .net framework.
