That's a reasonable statement Rob. It would be nice, however, if there was a simple prerequisite BA packaged with WiX. I'd like to do the same as Shay is requesting, without needing to write a custom BA, or re-crafting the MSI UI in the wixstdba.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Is it possible to have a bundle without a UI? It is possible however you'd need to write a custom BA. The wixstdba (provided with the WiX toolset) is designed to create a "single installation experience" not "bunch of independent installs popping up".
