I have created a setup using wix,where i have created customized UI in wix related to my project.but now i need to add prerequisite install .For prerequisite installs i used bootstrapper (seems its only way to add prerequisite in wix ). But now my problem is am not getting my customized UI which i developed in WIx using <UIRef Id="MyWixUI_InstallDir" /> , instead am getting standard bootstrapper UI's. Is it possible to use the same wix UI in bootstrapper ?? and is bootstrapper the only way to add prerequisite using wix ..?

Thanks, Arshad

You have two choices:

  1. You could customize the bootstrapper UI and pass properties to the MSI or,
  2. to show both the bootstrapper and the MSI UI, set MsiPackage/@DisplayInternalUI="yes".

The WiX Bootstrapper is a well-thoughtout bootstrapper, downloader, chainer, reboot handler, and package manager for Windows. It is the best practice when using WiX for prerequisites. (But, there are other bootstrappers out there.) Visual Studio, WiX itself, and many other fine products so use it.
