[WiX-users] Running an msi when using a burn-built bootstrapper

Hi: I know there was some discussion about the ability to run an msi (for the ui portion of an installation) rather than letting burn deal with this? Is this doable as yet? Any help appreciated. Regards Sean. -- WhatsUp Go

Re: [WiX-users] Wix 3.6 Burn MsiPackage Basic Quesiton

No. Burn doesn't currently work that way. Instead, the design is to update the bootstrapper and publish it pointing to new binaries. That way you can handle the case where previous versions of the bootstrapper are installed and get the new MSIs installed everywhere. On Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 9:18 AM

Thank you, that got me pointed in the right direction. For anyone running into this issue or a similar one in the future, here is the detailed solution. It is not limited to HTA applications. I needed to run "C:\Windows\System32\mshta.exe C:\\rbs.Configure.hta" when the install completed and

Re: [WiX-users] Error 2726: Action not found: WelcomeForm

Better late than never is right! Install logs do sometime show these error messages but as I have indicated earlier nothing is amiss. So we decided to ignore the benign error. Thanks for reassuring me that others have also seen this weird behavior. It may just be an undocumented bug in the Window

[WiX-users] Patches and locale transforms

I'm trying to get my head around creating a patch. I have built an msi that supports different locals by embedding locale transforms into the single msi. Given this msi, what are the steps to create the patch? Can I still use the wixpdbs for each language and if so how? Or do I have to work with
