Hi John, My problem is that the check box is read only on the installer side. Meanwhile if I set my property via code it works fine. The problem is that after that I can't modify the state of the control during install. Any clue? Thanks -Original Message- From: John Cooper [mailto:joc

Re: [WiX-users] How to create a feature set that installs an msi and a bundle exe

Re: [WiX-users] How to create a feature set that installs an msi and a bundle exe

Thanks for the reply. I would prefer two bundles, which I sort of have now. Currently I have an msi for the client and a bundle for the server because of the SQL Server requirement. How can I combine them into a single msi/exe with each one being a feature on a feature tree? Thanks, Gary --

Two options that come to mind are: Two bundles, one for the client, and one for the server. A single Bundle which conditionally installs the server components. Use a check box on the install or options page (you'll need a custom theme if your using WixStdBA) tied to a burn variable to dete

Check boxes are NOT set to "0" when unchecked. Effectively, the property is set to string.Empty which undefines it. The property will be set ONLY if the check box is "checked." To check for the property being unset, use NOT VS2012CHECKED. -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer

Is there a definition of AdvertiseFlags anywhere that makes sense? I see in the MSI.H file there are two values - installed per user (1), or installed per machine (0). But in the registry for the installed product ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products]), I am seeing values like
