Hi,



I know that this group has discussed bootstrapper related questions a number
of times but I cannot find a solution to the following problem. 

I think it would help others who may want to use the bootstrapper with the
Wix project so I am posting here.

I am trying to use the Microsoft bootstrapper with the WIX project to bundle
the prerequisites Do Net 3.5 SP1 and Windows Installer 3.1. 

I am building on Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit machine with Visual Studio
2010. 

Bootstrapper path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper

Some Microsoft support sites state that this could be an Anti virus problem
with AG Anti virus as it seems to quarantine setup.bin thinking that it is a
'trojan'. I do not have AG Antivirus on the build machine. setup.bin is
easily accessible.

Trying to pack Dot Net 3.5 (this has a different path for the bootstrapper
which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper)
makes no difference. Here also I can see the relevant setup.bin 

I later found that the build was looking for setup.bin in
Bootstrapper\Engine directory, so I copied Engine directory to see if this
would work. Build stopped complaining about the setup.bin but now it could
not find the packages.

Where is the setup information or manifest file that would tell me the
appropriate paths?

What  should be the data for 'path' under the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Wow6432node\Microsoft\GenericBootstrapper\3.5

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Umesh
