Properties are an MSI concept. Bundle Variables are a Burn concept. We
named them different to avoid confusing the two.
There are XxxSearch elements that can be used in Bundles to set Variables
and there are XxxSearch elements that can be used in MSI to set Properties.

That's by design. The current behavior keeps Burn out of all kinds of
inconsistent states that no one wants to try to debug.
Reboot, or avoid the reboot.

I'm trying to add different text to an installer when in an upgrade scenario.
I'm setting 3 properties based on the version detected:
My approach was to copy the welcome dialog and try to provide a different
description if an upgrade is detected. I'm trying to do something like

Those aren't WiX targets; they're BTDF targets. You want to talk to them
about why it deletes files.

Move the Image element to children of the Pages you want it to appear
on. As shipped, it's outside pages, so it always appears.

The packages aren't available until Apply is called. Take a look at
ActionState.AdminInstall for the package action to tell Burn to do an
admin install.

I'm creating a custom UI using the Wix 3.6 BootstrapperApplication and have
a working installer using the windows installer system. However, we'd like
to give the user the option of performing an "xcopy" style install instead
of fully registering via the windows add/remove programs, etc. This is

Is it possible to customise the HyperlinkTheme so that the logo is different or
hidden on some pages? I have tried various combinations but not found anything
that works.
By the way, is the theme code something unique to WiX or a standard?

Heh, I should have been able to think of that one! LOL
Thanks. You are right, not elegant, but in this case, I'll take it.
My question stands though, I'd like to have a better understanding of ways
to manipulate the UI authoring provided by the extension.
I haven't used it myself but have you looked at John Robbins' Paraffin tool?
Here's a link to it (note the current version is 3.6 I believe):

Well this isn't exactly pretty but I did find a way to do what you want. You
can create a CustomTable element for the ControlCondition table and then add
rows as you need them (WiX didn't seem to mind that this was a standard
table).
Here's the WiX authoring for the ControlCondition table:
I am new to Windows software development, so my apologies for any silly
questions or general cluelessness.
My question seems like it should be a FAQ, but I saw it neither in the WiX
FAQ list nor in the past couple months of the list archives (I didn't see
a good way to search the archive on the

Hello,
I have two question about managed bootstrapper in Wix3.6RC.
Firstly, I cant find a way to set up MsiProperty "on the fly". I need setup
REINSTALL=ALL only if i reinstall the application.
If I set it in WXS (static) then normal installation failed... i guess it is
only for reinstall mode
