i have done a project for outlook add-ins. then i used WIX to create a setup file for this add-ins. But we need resolve the dependencies too, so i made a bootstrappper project using wix, which first check for the dependencies and then install add-ins using the setup file. it works good.
Problem
is there any way to merge these two setup project into single project. ?
here is my code for bootstrapper.

You can chain in one bootstrapper inside other. Just modify Compressed="no" to Compressed="yes" in your exepackage, This will embed it in current project.

I've created a WiX bundle that simply installs a VC redist and than an MSI.

The VC redist installation works as expected.
However, when installing a bundle with the same version but different internal version of the MSI, I can see that the MSI is being installed, but I'm getting duplicated entries for the bundle in the ARP(only 1 entry for the MSI as expected).
In the MSI I'm allowing same version upgrades:
<MajorUpgrade AllowDowngrades="no" AllowSameVersionUpgrades="yes" Schedule="afterInstallInitialize" DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." />
I'm guessing that the reason for the two entries in the ARP is that the bundle doesn't allow same version upgrades?
I'm not satisfied with the answer in how-to-do-major-upgrades-when-using-burn-wix-3-6, It suggests to upgrade the bundle version. Can't I achieve a behavior s.t if the MSI version is different from the one installed, but the bundle version is the same, it will not cause duplicated ARP entries?
Thanks.
I'm somewhat new to Wix. I created a bootstrapper to check and install .NET version 4 framework if it doesn't exist. In my msi package, I'm using WixUI_minimal installer interface. When I run the bootstrapper.exe, the standard bootstrapper UI shows instead of the WixUI_minimal. Is there a way to have WixUI_minimal present and have .NET framework install in the background without showing the bootstrapper UI? What options do I have here? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

I decided to change the bootstrapper application UI to include my license, a logo and a theme. This was done by including the WixBalExtension as a reference. This seems like the simplest way to go for the moment in having one unified install UI. The new bootstrapper listing is below.

On your MSI package you would need to set the attribute DisplaysInternalUI to Yes.
From the documentation:
Specifies whether the bundle will show the UI authored into the msi
package. The default is "no" which means all information is routed to
the bootstrapper application to provide a unified installation
experience. If "yes" is specified the UI authored into the msi package
will be displayed on top of any bootstrapper application UI.

Ive a problemm with my wix bootstrapper to install .Net 4 and my application(.msi generated with wix 3.7). When i compile my solution everything is ok, and the generated exe has the right size(not sure if important, when i use winrar to open the exe there are just a few files in it, and not the files i want to install).
When i double click my exe nothing happens(with and without administrator).

Myapp.msi is imported as reference in the bootstrapper projekt.
May someone can help me where ive to look(iam not sure if im able to create a logfile)
if theres any code i should post pls let me know
Thank u very much
Have you tried including the "Compressed" attribute for your MSIPackage entry? For example:
<Chain>
<!-- TODO: Define the list of chained packages. -->
<PackageGroupRef Id="Netfx4Full"/>
<MsiPackage Id="Myapp" SourceFile="$(var.Myapp.TargetPath)" Compressed="yes" Vital="yes" />
</Chain>
The "Compressed" attribute tells Burn to include your msi in the generated bootstrapper package. The "Vital" attribute tells Burn that your msi is required.
Also, burn packages write logs to your temp. directory. So look in there if it still fails.
I have a WiX bundle that installs an MSI and also checks if .NET is installed. Everything works as expected when installing the bundle (and the installer).
My problem is when the bundle is upgraded. In an upgrade, the bundle first installs v_Next of the MSI and when then unininstalls v_Previous of the MSI.
How can I change this order? I want that in an upgrade the v_Previous of the MSI is uninstalled before the v_Next is installed.
Below is my bundle:

Thank you Rob for the answer. I'm trying to do that, but it's not working (I'm surelly missing something)... This is what I have in the MSI:
<Product Id="*"
Name="MyProductName"
Language="1033"
Version="1.0.0.0"
Manufacturer="MyCompanyName"
UpgradeCode="aa027fd0-5111-1236-9af6-55581a588123">
<Package InstallerVersion="200"
Compressed="yes"
InstallScope="perMachine" />
<MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of MyProductName is already installed."
AllowDowngrades="no"/>
<MediaTemplate />
<Feature Id="ProductFeature"
Title="MyProductName"
Level="1">
<ComponentRef Id="ApplicationShortcut" />
<ComponentGroupRef Id="AllFiles" />
</Feature>
</Product>
If I run the v_previous MSI and then v_Next MSI (separatelly, not within the bundle) I get both installed, so no upgrade is being performed. What Am I doing wrong?
Nevermind, MajorUpgrade is working. My version numbering was wrong in the vNext MSI. I need now to also add minor upgrade support.
Upgraded bundles are always uninstalled last today**. To remove v_Previous.msi before v_Next.msi, have the v_Next.msi major upgrade (see the MajorUpgrade element) the v_Previous.msi.
** I think there is a feature request to allow other placements but no one has implemented that yet.

here's my code:
my problem is that .NET4.5 is installed only if it exists.
however MATLAB's MCR is installed whether it exists or not.
can you please tell me what's wrong with my condition:
InstallCondition="(NOT MatlabPath) AND (NOT MatlabMCRPath)"
fix after Rob's answer:
DetectCondition="MatlabMCRPathExists OR MatlabPathExists"
this condition should be false in order to install
Here is my final and working code:
this code check's for .NET 4.5 installation.
and for Matlab R2012a or Matlab MCR R2012a.

The InstallCondition attribute is used to determine whether a package should be installed on the machine. If true, the package is allowed to install. If false, the package is uninstalled. What you want is a DetectCondition attribute to determine whether the package is already present on the machine.
The fix is probably just to change the Matlab ExePackage/#InstallCondition to a ExePackage/#DetectCondition.
You can correct your RegistrySearch call like below:
<!--checking for matlab 2012a installation-->
<util:RegistrySearch Id="MatlabPath"
Variable="MatlabPathExists"
Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\MathWorks\MATLAB\4.17\"
Result="exists"/>
<!--checking for matlab MCR 2012a 64 bit installation-->
<util:RegistrySearch Id="MatlabMCRPath"
Variable="MatlabMCRPathExists"
Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\MathWworks\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\7.17\"
Result="exists"/>
<PackageGroup Id="Netfx45FullPackage">
This search sets the search result to the variable MatlabPathExists and MatlabMCRPathExists.
Then your condition check should be like following using those variables:
DetectCondition="(NOT MatlabPathExists) OR (NOT MatlabMCRPathExists)"
