1. I am trying to create a bootstrapper using dotnetinstaller. The config file is very basic.
When I run my .msi file with msiexec /i "C:\MyRelease\MyImageInstaller.msi" it installs perfectly as designed (See icon in add/remove programs, desktop icon etc).

When I run the the same msi with dotnetInstaller, I see exactly the same wizard and installation success in log, but I don't see it fully installed. No program seen in add/remove programs. No desktop icon. I see the directory structure created though.

My final goal is two run two .msi files one after the other in a chain.

I got the the answer myself.
I had to use the following command to get the shortcut and register in Add/Remove programs
ALLUSERS=2 ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=0
