Ah, ok. Well, if the main thing is to get the size of the install, would
using Burn's download capabilities add anything for you (using the
DownloadUrl attribute on your Burn MsiPackage elements)? Such as only
downloading the 64-bit installer if that's what they need, or only the
32-bit one? Of course you'd have to host them somewhere online where they
could be downloaded from. But that would mean the user only downloads
exactly what they need.

If you want to try to do the shared CAB thing, could you create a .wixlib
that has the shared components. Add a Media element that specifies the name
of the CAB file to create for just those components. You can use the Cabinet
attribute to set the name of the CAB file and set EmbedCab to "no".

I haven't tried this myself, but theoretically, you could reference the
.wixlib in both MSI projects, have both of them create the CAB file, but
only use one of them in your bootstrapper.
