What is the best practice to create MSI with some other child MSI as prerequisite?

Question
Currently we are using Inno Setup as a bootstrapper to install the MSI prerequisites. It makes bit complex to maintain the setup. I found the Burn tool which may help us to resolve this issue by having a single setup to install whatever we need. I could not find either documentation or sample for this tool. Is anyone have idea about this? Or is there an alternative solutio?
I am looking for the alternative solution for the actions that we do with the ISS bootstrapper now:
- Extract the files (Main setup, Prerequisite setup)
- Need to ensure prerequisites status and install on demand.
- Start main install.
Solution
The Burn tool is still a bit raw to be used in production. Many people in the WiX community recommend dotNetInstaller.
