I modified per your instruction, and then got a compiler error regarding WixMbaPrereqPackageId and WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl. So I followed the example in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2011/10/28/introducing-managed-bootstrapper-applications.aspx. It again compiles, but when I run the exe, I now get:
