Come forzare un bootstrapper WiX per scaricare un pacchetto MSI?

Question

Sto leggendo this section of WiX toolset manual e mi chiedo come forzare il bootstrapper WiX per scaricare un pacchetto MSI? Ad esempio, prima di installare la mia applicazione, il programma di avvio automatico deve scaricare e installare:

• .NET Framework Client Profilo
• SQL Server 2008 R2 Gestione concorrente Objects.

ho pensato, posso descrivere corrispondente MsiPackage come questo:

ma the schema reference per MsiPackage elemento dice, che

"At a minimum, the SourceFile or Name attribute must be specified."

E, naturalmente, esso doesn' t lie - senza SourceFile o Name il progetto di bundle compila con errori.

Aggiunta RemotePayload-MsiPackage in questo modo:

<MsiPackage Name="redist\SharedManagementObjects.msi" 
       DisplayName="Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Objects" 
       DisplayInternalUI="yes" 
       Vital="yes" 
       DownloadUrl="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188438&amp;clcid=0x409"> 
    <RemotePayload Size="10953728" 
        Version="10.50.1600.1" 
        ProductName="Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Objects" 
        Description="Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Objects" 
        Hash="6ce3a433309c63d98bcf0e2b9f1dfaed8cc18783"/> 
    </MsiPackage> 

causa un errore di generazione:

Unable to read package ''. This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.

Mi sto perdendo qualcosa?

That's not supported today; RemotePayload supports only the fields needed to verify a downloaded file is what's expected but nothing more than that. That works for .exes because Burn treats those like black boxes. Burn gathers a lot more data from MSI packages.

So the bug is either that it's an allowed child of MsiPackage or that it doesn't yet support all the data needed from an MSI.
