Re: [WiX-users] commadline parameters to bootstrapper

What Neil said if using the wixstdba. If using your own BA, the command-line parameters should be in the command structure passed to your BA initialization. On Mon, Nov 12, 2012 at 11:18 PM, Neil Sleightholm wrote: > You would need to add bal:Overridable="yes" to that element to allow burn > to

Re: [WiX-users] commadline parameters to bootstrapper

Yes. The BA gets all the "unknown" command-line parameters and can do whatever it wants with them, such as set a Variable that is passed to an MsiProperty. On Mon, Nov 12, 2012 at 9:42 PM, Syam Pinnaka wrote: > Is it possible to pass commandline parameters to the bootstrapper > application lik

[WiX-users] commadline parameters to bootstrapper

Re: [WiX-users] Creating a simply installer copying a set of files to an existing directory

Assuming the "popular CASE tool" uses Windows Installer to install, you should be able to search for it as a prerequisite. In addition, you should need to ask the user for the install folder, as you should be able to query the product state of the main application for its installation directory.
