Re: [WiX-users] Running Burn-driven installer in quiet mode (command line parameters)

1. Yes, absolutely. Burn supports parsing the "standard package switches" and will pass extra switches on the Bootstrapper Application so it can apply additional behavior. 2. The complete list is dependent on the Bootstrapper Application you pick. The wixstdba supports only the "standard package s

I've seen it work fine with both Traditional and Modern sort LCIDs (for Spanish, anyway). In fact, for all the ones I tested (back on Server 2003, XP, and Vista, anyway) all the Spanish LCIDs I tested (including neutral) worked. Neutral Chinese comes out backwards between NLS and .NET (traditional

Hi everyone, Is it possible to run Burn-driven installer in a quiet mode? What command line parameters are supported? Can I forward any parameter/property to chained package(s) via bootstrapper command line? Thanks in advance. -- Vitalii Dolia --

LCID values are not automatically transferred from the culture's name to the different places in the MSI database where it may be needed. There are some LCID values defined in .NET that don't work on all platforms (and even a couple places where the LCID in native code and the value used in .NET do

IMHO: best practice in Windows Installer is in this order: 1. Find a way to accomplish what you need to do using standard (built-in) actions (see Bob's "semi-custom" actions if you need to compute things like registry keys, etc. at install-time). 2. Use a well-written, well-tested, and well-used li
