I have been for some time using an empty PayloadGroupRef to pull a Fragment
into my Bundle (when the items in the Fragment don't already have a xxxRef
object which could be used). I picked this idea up from some example posted
in this list and it seems to work pretty good. However today I came ac
I would guess that one reason could be that the gui seems to be very
different in the BA compared to MSI, when using Wix, you have good ui
libraries for MSI, but almost nothing for BA, as far as I have found.
And what is there, is very much diffent, atleast that is my expression
right now, doing my
Possible yes, advisable no. If you are using burn, create a custom BA (or use
WixStdBA).
One of the core reasons for burn (besides chaining multiple prerequisites, on
the fly downloads of needed files, etc) was to provide a single unified
installation experience. While some minimal effort ha
Sorry, I forgot the subject in original email.
I have a burn bundle that uses the built-in WiX Bootstrappre UI. Is it possible
to silence this UI on uninstall and only display the UI of one the MSI
packages? Or maybe have a bootstrapper application with No UI?

I used to do something similar to what you are doing, and also had issues
with build sequencing. In my case the wixlib had wxs code and was marked as
an x86 project. The msi project was a dual platform project in which I used
preprocessor to switch between building a x86 or a x64 project. It all
Thanks. I guess I was vaguely aware you could include/exclude binaries from
a wixlib, but didn't know the correct term was 'bound'.
Since unbound is the default, I guess that's what I've been doing.

The "-bf" flag needs to be passed to lit.exe when building the wixlib or the
binaries will not actually be in the wixlib--"Bound". "Unbound" is the default.

I actually figure it out. You need to use the Bootstrapper.Command.Action
method that returns a launchaction. So you will need to compare it to
LaunchAction.Install. So the code will look like
Bootstrapper.Command.Action == LaunchAction.Install
I hope this help other in the future.

I'm not sure what you mean by "unbound" wixlibs, but I do have a setup like
this...
a.csproj
b.csproj
wl.wixproj <-- references a and b to make a wixlib
wx.wixproj <-- references wl.wixproj to make the msi
But again, I still had an issue when the PreBuild and/or BeforeBuild
actions ran on wl.wix
Since you can use a formatted property successfully for the Database attribute
of a sql:Database element, why aren't you either: 1) placing your
sql:SqlScript elements as children of the sql:Database element being created;
or 2) using a sql:Database element outside of a Component as a "locator
For the advice to be relevant you would need to post a snippet of code
related to your component. Mine looks like:
Also I found that Product/@Manufacture must match the name of the
Manufacture as defined in the INF file, and Package/@Manufacture can be
different.
