I need a WIX Bootstrapper project that installs MY software and prerequisites

Question

Hello!

I have a solution in VS2010 that defines 3-4 separate applications.

These 3-4 applications are separate (but related) components that I need to individually install on our production servers during deployment. I played using WIX mondo to create a multi-purpose WIX installer, but I found that it would be more profitable for these applications to be installed individually, as well as through a single source for all of them, preferably configurable for the select that you want to install during installation .

I noticed that there is a project like WIX called the “Bootstrapper Project”, but I can’t find a lot of documentation around it on the Internet and I don’t know if this is the type of project that will really help me in creating a download installation for my projects. (that is, the setup.exe file, which will install each project one by one, as defined in the installer, or, optionally, through the installer at startup) ...

What is the best way to do this on WIX, using existing WIX installers for individual programs?
