I made the three files a resource and then they are written to the current working directory of my bootstrapper, so they may be referenced properly. Then th

Tyler, I haven't needed to do this, but below is what I am going to try soon. I am curious if people agree this is correct and best way to achieve the behavior you describe. I believe your issue with MajorUpgrade is that FindRelatedProducts finds all the products which have the same upgrade code

In Winrar in the general tab check "Create SFX archive".In the Advanced tab there is a button "SFX Options..."I think you can call and set paramaters to the executable there. I didn't test this, but it should be possible. > Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2011 09:34:31 -0500 > From: tyler.walters...@gmail.com

I had thought about that and i tried 7zip, but I will need to be able to pass parameters to the executable in the zip and I didn't see a way to do that. I was hoping I would be able to find a way to make the msi, dll, and xml file part of the exe. On Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 9:03 AM, Peter Shirtcliffe

Sounds like the WPF project is the bootstrapper itself. Why can't you change its project type from class library to windows executable and include both the MSI and the XML as resources? Edwin G. Castro Software Developer - Staff Digital Channels Fiserv Office: 503-746-0643 Fax: 503-617-0291 www

Thanks David 1. You are absolutely right. I completely missed that. Solved! :D 2. It is a bootstrapper that interacts with the msi before executing it. It is actually a wpf project and I reference the Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll that is in the wix\bin folder. Basically I just need t

Think the issue was related to the escaping of "[". When you do a diff against the zh-TW you will mention only few strings to be different (actually that was the reason why I mentioned the bug as I was interested what was the difference between Zh-HK and zh-TW). So a confirmation for correct trans
