I've looked at dotNetInstaller and while it looks very interesting, there is no way you are going to learn that tool and get a working bootstrapper in 15 minutes.

My main requirement is a single file that users can download to do the installation, since I hate having a setup.exe and MSI file because it's confusing and seems unnecessary. The only component of Burn I've ever used before is setupbld, but I'm wondering - will the output of Burn be a single exe, or will it be like VS where you have to package lots of MSIs and an exe into a zip file for distribution? -- Bruce Cran ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
