Subject: [WiX-users] wix as a wrapper for NSIS


We have a working NSIS installer for our app that works fine.  But one of our
clients has asked us to start producing a MSI version.  So my question is
this.  Would it be possible to use wix to create a wrapper installation that
runs our NSIS installer silently, then removes all traces of itself.

I've already created an simple wix installer that launches the installer
using InstallExecuteSequence (not 100% sure if this is the best method, but
it proves the theory)  What I need to know is how to then remove the
reference to the MSI installer in the list of Add/Remove programs and to
generally clean up after itself. This is because the NSIS comes with it's
own uninstaller so I need to avoid having 2 entries for the same program.

Any help from someone who has had to solve a similar issue would be really
useful

Carl
