Is it possible to define an Advanced Installer project where I build my .MSI file using WiX 3.0 using a VS 2008 msbuild project, and then programmatically use Advanced Installer for generating the bootstrap program?
* single self-extracting setup.exe
* checking for prerequisites and installing them
* multiple language support: selecting the right .msi file to use
* other non-MSI features
I like Advanced Installer's .MSI features, but I've got an existing WiX 3.0 project, and so it would be nice for them to co-exist.
Meaning, as part of a single VS 2008 build, I would use WiX 3.0 to generate the .MSI file and then have Advanced Installer grab that generated .MSI file to generate the setup.exe. Right now it looks like I have to manually import the WiX project and recreate the Advanced Installer project from scratch each time: is that necessary? Or, can I reload my current .MSI file from WiX 3.0.
