The BootstrapperApplication can override the default logic to do whichever

That looks ok but you don't normally reference WOW6432Node as that redirection
happens automatically if your msi is 32bit.

You need to supply you own version of background bitmap, see
and another for x64 or only
install package on Windows XP? Then DetectCondition to actually determine
whether the package is already installed?

You should be able to do this using the PayLoad element as a child of your

Afraid that is a bug in windows installer (not WiX) as it doesn't set the
transparent windows style. There are ways around it; I created my own dialog
and used a checkbox and separate label, not perfect but not so ugly. I have
also seen examples with a grey background bitmap.

In this case it is slightly different, when you run the SQL install it extracts
the setup to another folder (usually a guid folder name on drive c) it then
runs the install from that folder and that fails to find the config file as it
is not in the same folder.

Thanks for the update. That does sound plausible as I found that when it
crashed both the old and new version were in ARP, to uninstall you have to
manually remove the oldest version first, if you try to remove the newer one it
crashed again.
