I have to say this seems like an odd requirement, I have an application that needs SQL Express and I have structure the BA to detect SQL and if it is not present install it in the normal burn chain sequence. Is there a reason why you can't do this?

(wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Subject: [WiX-users] Burn Prerequisites Hi All, Is there a way to define prerequisites that need to be installed before the BA loads? For example, I want burn to install SQL express before loading the bootstrapper application. The reason for this is my BA checks SQL connectivity before beginning the install process. I need to make sure the installer can connect to SQL before installing, and I also (may) need to install SQL. If anyone can think of a more elegant way of doing this I am open to suggestions.
