Use v3.5 or v3.6. v3.0 has no VS2010 support as it was released long before VS2010 was even in beta.
Also v3.5 isn't a beta, it's release candidate now. See http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/10/29/Trick-or-treat-WiX-v3.5-Re lease-Candidate & also http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/11/13/Is-WiX-v3.5-ready-What-abo ut-v3.6 which as you can see from the dates, Rob posted much more recently to his blog than the link you pasted. Nothing much has changed from v3.0 to v3.5 other than the features Rob covers in those above blog posts so if you've been using v3.0 you should be able to switch straight to using v3.5 (there's no schema changes like there were between v2.0 & v3.0). If you've got questions about specific issues we're only too happy to help on this list (but please remember to use a search engine first as you'd be surprised the number of things that have been asked repeatedly which could've been answered by a quick search of the internet) dotnetinstaller is pretty good as bootstrappers go if you're looking for a free, open source solution. I use it myself & recommend it very highly. The other package I've looked at is SharpSetup which you may find useful if the application you're installing requires a .NET Framework -> http://sharpsetup.eu/ Until Burn is "production ready" in v3.6 there's always Visual Studio's MSBuild or other commercially available packages.

Is WiX 3.5 the way to go these days, or should I stick with 3.0? I've just been googling and I see that 3.5 is still in beta but then this<http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/10/10/The-state-of-the-WiX- toolset-October-2010>suggests its as stable or more so than 3.0, except for the specific issues mentioned. I will need to create at least 1 (maybe 2) CAs and I'd prefer to use C# and .NET 4.0, although 3.5 would probably be ok. If 3.0 is a better option, does it integrate with VS2010? Also, can anyone point me at some good articles / tutorials to get me back up to speed relatively quickly? Is dotNetInstaller <http://dotnetinstaller.codeplex.com/> a good option for a bootstrapper?
