As far as know the installshield is generating en EXE file and not MSI file.
installshield is a nice tool, but I'm wondering if there is a Microsofot
setup tool that is fully-featured tools for building MSI.
The Setup tool provided with th VS2005 is degenerate so it can't do more
then a simple functions.
Is there a fully-featured tools for building MSI ?

InstallShield can build MSI files. All these tools come with a bootstrap exe
to install prerequisites, even if it's just the MSI engine - that might be
what you're thinking of.
