Hi Alan - I did get it basically working, you can follow what happens in Wix's actual installer buried in the source tree. However I gave up as there's no documentation yet and I couldn't afford to spend the time working out how to drive the MSIs. I wanted to have the UI collect and set a few options then run maybe just one or two (or maybe all) MSIs with those options. But there's detecting, planning, applying etc. going on and I've no idea what all those do. Reading the Microsoft's Installer docs may explain these, but that's for another day. I've just gone back to our in-house bootstrap wrapper for now.

I got this far, but cannot get Burn to install my packages with my custom bootstrapper application. It appears to get to the Threading.Dispatcher.Run call, but then just sits there (ie I never get the second message box): using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Bootstrapper; using System.Windows.Forms; using Threading = System.Windows.Threading; namespace MyBA { public class TestBA : BootstrapperApplication { static public Threading.Dispatcher Dispatcher { get; private set; } protected override void Run() { this.Engine.Log(LogLevel.Verbose, "Running the TestBA."); TestBA.Dispatcher = Threading.Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher; MessageBox.Show("My Bootstrapper Application is running"); Threading.Dispatcher.Run(); MessageBox.Show("Dispatcher Run has finished."); this.Engine.Quit(0); } } } Any little bit of help you could provide would be GREATLY appreciated.
