You're wrong about dotnetinstaller. You can chain together any executables, MSI's, MSP's & MSU's using it. Doesn't need to specifically be pre-requisites.
If you want an external UI and don't want to use dotnetinstaller or something else already written, write your own.

However i dont want the user to go and double click each msi individually, But i would like give a UI to the user asking which msis to install and based on this user input execution of other msi would be decided and progress bar indication the status of execution will be shown. Now that 1. we dont have burn.exe in Wix 3.5. and 2. http://dotnetinstaller.codeplex.com/ dotnetinstaller is used for handling Pre-requistes(If wrong please correct me). How should i go about creating a external UI and calling child msi from this external UI. I dont want a hifi UI like MS office 2007 but working of UI should be similar to MS office 2007 -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/External-U I-like-MS-Office-2007-tp5157374p5157374.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
