Like you, I've been playing around with Burn. Here's what I got to work in the 3.6-1125 build: ------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Bundle Name="Bootstrap" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Bootstrap" UpgradeCode="537641ca-e876-4bcb-8d57-c6cdc8940c84"> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" /> <Chain> <MsiPackage Id="GibbsMain" SourceFile="$(var.SolutionDir)GibbsCAMx64\bin\x64\Release\en-us\GibbsCAM2011 _x64_v9.9.4.1.msi"/> </Chain> </Bundle> </Wix> -------------------------------------------
This builds a setup.exe with its own GUI. I don't know if there is a way to use whatever UI the MSI incorporates, and I haven't yet looked into writing my own UI. I've tried adding a few MSIs to the chain, but it has unpredictable results and hangs outright on a few of my "testing environment" VMs. It looks like you can set your EULA but I haven't gotten that far yet. I hope this helps. Be sure to share any discoveries you make that might be helpful.

My goal is just to have a working setup.exe package containing a msi to be installed. Can anybody post me a workign simple sample for that use case or give me a hint based on my below described solution? Based on the actual help and the included sample in the wix sources I don't get it. Thanks, Tobias Additionally my current code: --- BEGIN: setup.wxs --- <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'> <Bundle Name="Aida.Installer.Bootstrapper" Version="1.0.0.0" UpgradeCode='9072A488-D27B-4443-B147-56D8C47E0E4E'> <Chain> <MsiPackage Id='Wix' SourceFile='test.msi' Name='test' /> </Chain> </Bundle> </Wix> --- END: setup.wxs --- --- BEGIN: setup.bat --- set wivVer=Wix36 "%~dp0%wivVer%\candle.exe" setup.wxs "%~dp0%wivVer%\light.exe" -out setup.exe setup.wixobj -v --- END: setup.bat --- Given error: light.exe : error LGHT0001 : The given key was not present in the dictionary.
