I wish to install Microsoft POS (Point of service) with my installer, after installing .net fx, sql server compact edition, etc.
I am willing to supply the downloaded exe with installer (no need to get it from the web).
I've found this link. The article in the link indicate that you need to call setup with some parameters. But I've got no clue how to do this Wix wise. Second I am not sure that it is the right way do it as well. (maybe a merge module is needed?)
Anybody knows?

Setup tab > Run after execution input: your msi file name. Advanced tab > Mark Request Administrative access option checkbox.
Windows Installer XML Toolset (WiX, pronounced "wicks"), is a free software toolset that builds Windows Installer packages from XML. It consists of a command-line environment that developers may integrate into their build processes to build MSI and MSM packages.
Adding a WiX setup project In Visual Studio, open your solution, and add a WiX project to it: go to the Visual Studio main menu and click File -> Add -> New Project to open the Add New Project dialog. Choose the Setup Project item in the Windows Installer XML node, specify the project name and click OK.
Wix produces MSI files, and you cannot launch a setup program from inside an MSI. If you find a merge module for POS you can included it in your Wix. Otherwise you'll have to use a bootstrapper to install POS first and then launch your MSI (like DotNetInstaller).
