Hi, i use the GenerateBootstrapper task from msbuild to create a
bootstrapper but it doesn't do what you want to do, for that you have to
create your own bootstrapper.
However if you want to give it a try here you have an example:
<ItemGroup>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0">
<ProductName>.NET Framework 2.0</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Windows.Installer.3.1">
<ProductName>Windows Installer 3.1</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.JSharp.2.0 ">
<ProductName>Visual J# redistributable</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Sql.Server.Express.1.0">
<ProductName>SQL Server 2005 Express Edition</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="Bootstrapper">
<GenerateBootstrapper
ApplicationFile="app.msi" ApplicationName="My app"
BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)" OutputPath="bin"
ComponentsLocation="Relative" Culture="pt-PT"
Path="$(BootstrapperPath)" />
</Target>
In this example the bootstrapper includes the MSI 3.1, net2.0, j# and
SQLExpress. The property "BootstrapperPath" indicates the path to the
bootstrapper required files, default is: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper", however i use a local copy for the cruise
control server.
Hope it helps.

I have some applications that depend on .net 2.0 being installed, and I
have an idea of how I'd like to have things work. A setup file, deployed
from an intranet site will check for the prerequisites, and then once they
are installed/verified, download and run my MSI with the command line
switches that I specify (if, for example, I want to pass some property
values in on the command line). I understand that visual studio has a
bootstrapper included that should help with this, but I can't seem to find
anything that really talks about how to use it with your own MSI package.
Is there a sample out there of how to use the VS bootstrapper?
