[mapguide-internals] My MSI Install Issues

[Jackie Ng]

I've been searching far and wide for a bootstrapping solution and I cannot
believe that no such solution exists! Either they fall short of our
requirements, will be in the next version, have stupid un-workable
bugs/design decisions or licensing prevents us from using it.

I suppose we could write our own (using something like this as a starting
point:

But that is really the last resort!
