I have done some experiments with 'bob' (bundle of bundles). I may not have it all figured out yet, but what I have done is this:
1) Add this to the parent bundle (I do this for every bundle, even when not planning to do 'bob', so that in the future I can decide to create a related Addon or Upgrade as needed.): <RelatedBundle Action='Detect' Id='RelatedBundle_GUID_For_This_Bundle' /> 2) in the child bundle: <RelatedBundle Action='Detect' Id='RelatedBundle_GUID_For_This_Bundle-different than above' /> <RelatedBundle Action='Addon' Id='The above Parent bundle's RelatedBundle_GUID' /> You may want to pick a different Action behavior from 'Addon'. 3) In the parent bundle I add the child bundle using an ExePackage like this: <Fragment> <!-- Contrary to the chm, DetectCondition must be specified when the package is a Bundle. http://wixtoolset.org/issues/3693/ --> <PackageGroup Id="DistISsetup"> <ExePackage Id="DistISsetup" PerMachine="yes" Permanent="no" Vital="yes" Protocol="burn" Compressed="no" DownloadUrl="!(wix.myReleaseUrl){2}" Name="myChildBundle\myChildBundle.exe" SourceFile="myChildBundle.exe" InstallCondition="1=1" DetectCondition="1=0" > <ExitCode Value="3010" Behavior="scheduleReboot" /> </ExePackage> </PackageGroup> </Fragment> When I added all of the event handlers that are related to Related Bundles to my mba with logging messages (or debug) I found that the default behaviour of Burn made it unnecessary for me to try and 'detect' whether the child bundle is installed, as I indicated earlier. In the situation where I do not use a RelatedBundle then I write a registry key to a known location using the child bundle and use that info in the non-bundle parent to detect the child bundle. But when using Burn for both bundles, so far for me, it just works and I don't do anything to detect the child bundle.
