Here's what I remember about 3.7, I haven't used 3.8. The m_fPrereq variable
is associated with a managed bootstrapper. m_fPrereq is essentially a boolean
specifying whether the magic Burn variable WixMbaPrereqPackageId is set (that
variable specifies the PackageId for .NET). Since you're not using a managed
bootstrapper, you probably shouldn't be setting that variable (I didn't have
any problems with WixStdBA in 3.7 even with that set, though).
