The Crypto API is a Windows coding thing, not WiX code as in wxs. You'd
need a custom action using the encrypting/decrypting APIs to store and
retrieve the password. A simple search returns this example:

One approach might be to add a ExePackage with payloads, if they are needed.

Make sure that the crypto store you use corresponds to the ALLUSERS value you
are installing with (per-user installs can't require elevation and per-machine
installs shouldn't use a per-user store), or you could break repairs done by a
different person than first installed your product. Converse

You could write a custom BA, but if your "script" is going to modify machine
state then it doesn't belong in the BA.
Is there a reason you can do this in a custom action? Even if you don't own
either MSI, you could create a 3rd MSI to put between them which simply deploys

UI customization is an area that is easy to discount the effort involved but
hard to get right. We are open, however, to ideas on making it better.
Especially if those ideas include code that work with the engine.
The extended BA was an excellent (IMHO) improvement in increasing flexibility

You're kind of stuck. You've committed to supply credentials at install
time, but you need to supply them for patch and repair, so you need to
store them somewhere. If the registry is not allowed then write a custom
action with the Crypto API, things like CredWrite, CredRead etc.

Use a command line that suits your requirements:

For each ExePackage if you supply an @UninstallCommand attribute with the

Well that means that you put it between InstallInitialize and

be. Did you try that?
It's not a safe design without some extra details. When InstallFiles copies

Wix's own bootstrapper is done this way, so you can use that as a sample.
There's also a tutorial with code samples here:

Hi Ravi,
It is indeed possible to create custom WPF UI by using Wix's Burn engine.
The code samples are in C#, but Chapter 16 of "WiX 3.6: A Developer's
Guide to Windows Installer XML" by Nick Ramirez will tell you
everything you need to know.
Hope that helps.
