If you look at the XSD you'll see that the Package is in a sequence. That means order matters. We've discussed changing it in the past... more important things were fixed. On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 11:37 AM, wrote: > Okay, I think I answered at least my initial question: apparently > must appear a

xmlns is just an URI. It doesn't resolve to anything. The xsd is available in a couple places in the drop if you want it. On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 7:26 AM, wrote: > Colleagues, > > Can't seem to reply to my post through the mailing list archive... > Anywho... > > I'm checking a couple of things:

No such thing. Bundle's chain packages. Bundles also have variables and can search the machine for stuff to assign to variables. There is no such thing as a custom action in a Bundle. On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 9:10 AM, PAES Stephane wrote: > Hello > > I would like to add a custom action in a Burn Bo

[WiX-users] Need help with 3.6 Bundle/Payload concepts

2012-04-06 Thread mwpowellhtx
Are there any canned examples how to payload install prerequisites like Microsoft Installer versions, .NET Framework, and the like? Or our own installers? Intellisense doesn't seem to pick it up or perhaps that's because I am running against 3.6 and haven't uninstalled 3.5? -

Okay, I think I answered at least my initial question: apparently must appear at least *after* or the issue(s) appear. Not sure why that is; it certainly is not intuitive with an experience if advanced knowlege of how Xml is supposed to be readable. Order shouldn't matter. Apparently Xsd sch

I've upgraded to 3.6 RC0 and I am still getting the same issues as before. Are there prerequisites that we need to install to make this work? We're running Windows 7 Pro, Visual Studio 2010, WiX 3.6 RC0. Best regards, Michael Powell Senior Software Developer

Colleagues, I think this is an xmlns issue. The default resource: http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi doesn't seem to be picking up the documented 3.5 tags. For instance, I am expecting that Product can support PropertyRef, however, the only child it is supporting is Package. Further
