I did notice that I could not install 3.6.2207 unless I was connected to the internet.

Yes, it's a design feature: Wix36.exe is just the bootstrapper - it downloads everything it needs during installation, or you can use the /layout switch to get a set of files for use offline. Visual Studio 11 etc. will work this way too. -- Bruce Cran -- Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
Re: [WiX-users] Wow!
I thought there was a bug on that... it'll be fixed eventually.

Re: [WiX-users] Wow!
Note there is a bug on WixBA that it does not support layout. Also, you don't have to use Burn this way. Just theoption, that we chose for WiX itself.

[WiX-users] localisation for the pre-requisite bootstrapper
Hi All I am currently using the burn pre-requisite bootstrapper to install .Net 4 before launching a custom managed bootstrapper application. I have set preqbathemewxl variable: Is there a currently a way to localise the strings for multiple languages in the pre-requisite bootstrapper? There is a bug that was resolved as fixed around this (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3396537&group_id=105970&atid=642714) - but I can't find any details on how to get it to work.

I mean a real installer that does all the necessary registry and environment operations, not the /layout switch that just drops the file structure. If not, this is a real waste of bandwidth and working time - just imagine a company with many development machines and/or VMs that all need to install WiX. So I have to download all the data over and over again ... and perhaps even wait for the download to finish. Kind regards, Dirk -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

When you run the bootstrapper without /layout it still does all the registry operations etc. but will use the local files instead of downloading them again. -- Bruce Cran -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
