[WiX-users] Not Directly related to WiX, but this is bootstrapper related....

I ran across this blog tonight while reading about Lab Management. There are a couple of entries near the top that might be useful. Just thought I'd share. John -- EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting und

[WiX-users] WiX Burn - Loading prerequisite bootstrapper application because managed host could not be loaded

Good evening I'm trying to get a simple managed UX example working without much success. The resulting EXE keeps loading the prerequisite bootstrapper that wants to install .NET 4. The error is: Loading prerequisite bootstrapper application because managed host could not be loaded, error: 0x80

1 - wrong list, this is the users list. This sort of post belongs on the WiX-devs list. 2 - you'd be better placed submitting a feature request on SourceForge (or CodePlex if the issue tracker has been migrated over, last time I checked we were still using SourceForge for issue tracking). 3 - if

[WiX-users] Switching from MSZIP or LZX to LZMA compression by integrating UPX

Good evening, Could one of you WiX developers please integrate UPX (http://upx.sourceforge.net/) in order to add support for LZMA compression? MakeMSI already has UPX support, and has had so for quite some time. Here's an excerpt from his macro language: #define+ DLLCA-C_COMPRESS_DLL_COMMAND_LI
