Ok that worked. I now am getting the new folder and the prerequisite .msi file.

Re: [WiX-users] bootstrapper for non-Microsoft installer - warning item not located
No sorry. I meant the prerequisite is started by clicking on setup.exe. Then a dialog appears if the launch condition for the prerequisite is not satisfied and the user can confirm to install it. As I remember the bootstrapper aborts if the user cancels the prerequisite installation. So he is obliged to confirm in order to install the application. At first I thought you mean the prerequisite is directly embedded into the setup.exe what the MS Bootstrapper cannot do. 2011/3/30 Paul Brook brook.p...@gmail.com: Ok that worked.
