Thank you Peter. Good page to show to my marketing-boss who wants to have
fancy UI in all colors of the rainbow.
My understanding of a setup is, it should be stable and fast. Who buys an
application
because of its setup ?
Well, I hope this is not end for WIX in our company. I kind of like it a l
Burn doesn't support that. What is the underlying requirement? I've never
heard the need for such complexity.

I've got a bundle that contains 3 MSIs (A, B, and C). I want one MSI (A) to
always install and uninstall after another one (B).
The After attribute works on install (A properly installs after B), however
on uninstall I want A to uninstall after B as well but Burn always runs the

Natalie,
It is not recommended to do concurrent installs with a pure MSI based
approach
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa368010(v=vs.85).aspx).
Either it has to be transformed into a merge module and thus a single install,
or you need to generate a Burn bundle (or yo
There is a mutex to prevent multiple execute sequences. If you are doing
some kind of hack in MSI then you need to do it all from the UI sequence of
the parent installer. If you want that parent to ever work silently the
closest you'll get is 'non-interactive' using /qr.
You didn't seem to '
FWIW, while .NET has the System.Environment class available, I tend to still
use the MSI provided OS Properties ( [ProgramFilesFolder]
[ProgramFiles64Folder] ) for these types of resolution. It's a not reinvent
the wheel kind of thing.

I have a 32 bit application whose installation package includes a CA written in
C#. This works fine on 32 bit Vista and fails to work on x64 Windows 7. At
first I caught that I had accidentally hardcoded to C:\program files\, but I
have since written in a check to see whether or not we're on 32
Missed this.
Note: ia64 is going away in WiX v3.7 because the VS tools don't support
building it any longer.
Who still uses ia64?

If someone wanted to implement it, I suppose Votive should support it.

It perhaps does in part by accident!? You can use the DTE interfaces to add a
reference to a Project if you have both the wix project and the reference
project objects.
Would DTE automation fall as a feature request or would it be considered too
far off the beat path?

I just created a stand-alone executable. As long are you already require .NET
then it makes sense to do it in C#. In my particular case I did it in vc++
(and statically linked the runtime) so I could use it for both native and
managed bundles.

Hi,
I guess I have to go the same way for the PostgreSQL installer (made with
bitrock).
How do you have created the stub EXE? Is ther something within the WIX
toolset or do I have to create a C# project?
Best regards,

Wix doesn't provide any UI controls. It simply enables you to use Windows
Installer controls. Your options are limited to what is described here

I think the link is about customizing dialogs ( or remove whole dialogs from a

Hi, Thanks, I don't want to use Burn as I have spent a great deal of time
making my own dialog set to cater for our needs and I do not like the way if
you display your own MSI dialogs it still shows the Burn dialog. Thanks for
your answer though..:)
