[wix-users] /help command with custom bootstrapper

[Julius Zint]

If nobody knows an easier way you could write a Wrapper
Application yourself that has the bootstrapper as embedded resource.

When the Application gets started with /help it shows a MessageBox
otherwise it extracts the bootstrapper and launches it.
