title: WIX, Bootstrapper or custom actions
body: <p>I have a WIX installer that needs to kick off 4 other installers. All are in Exe files, but we may need to add additional ones with MSI installers.</p>
  
  <p>After a lot of research, the consensus I came to was to use a bootstrapper, and chain the child installers.   But the last post I found a comment at the end said "But now you can use custom actions for that".</p>
  
  <p>The problem with custom actions is that they all run before the GUI comes up, when Immediate mode is selected.   But if I use "delayed", then the custom actions don't have access to most installer variable data.    So Im back to the drawing board:  should I use a bootstrapper and chain, or just use custom actions somehow?   </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions greatly appreciated.   </p>
