Re: [WiX-users] Customized downloaded MSI location

At least in WiX v3.10 (maybe v3.9) you can set the package cache location via policy: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\WiX\Burn@PackageCache That is a machine wide setting for users that need to move the package cache to a different drive. ___

Hi Rob, Do you have any advice on how to handle prerequisites (not prereqmba) without adding an entry ? Thanks in advance Sound On Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 10:52 PM, Rob Mensching wrote: > Ahh, the prereqba completed successfully. So the bundle was successfully > installed before being restarted to

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrap conditioned on OSbittage

My first question would be "why". What do you need to do that you can't at least allow your bundle be in the chain and let burn do its work before deferring to your final exe installer? -Original Message- From: Matt O'Connell [mailto:techsupport...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 08,

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrap conditioned on OSbittage

Sorry guys can I get some advise on this one please? I realise burn can't 'fire and forget' see http://www.joyofsetup.com/2013/07/05/burn-zero-one-or-n/ but what (free) methods are there available to do this? Can anyone reccommend something? Alternatively is it possible to bundle (and conditional

[WiX-users] Two Different Bundles, Same MSI, Upgrade and Bundle Dependencies.

The main problem is that in the below scenario an MSI is uninstalled after it is upgraded by a second installer and that second installer is uninstalled. In brief this appears to be a problem with not upgrading package dependencies in a multiple bundle and major upgrade scenario. *The scenario:*

Re: [WiX-users] Problem durring major upgrade /qb or /qn

After a time of more careful researching of logs I understand that error occured in the install phase of major upgrade (Before that I thought that error in the remove phase). This means that I may avoid that error by setting more complex conditions for remove actions. For example Instead for exam

Re: [WiX-users] Managed Bootstrapper: Engine.EvaluateCondition() requires separate thread?

Later I figured out that the separate thread is active during event calls. So I tried it during *DetectComplete *event and it worked. But before that, I had to parse *BootstrapperApplicationData.xml* file to get *WixBalCondition* elements and get the collection into an array e.g. BalConditions[].

Hello, I have the same issue. I double-checked that .NET package is marked as permanent and I tried both with and without rollback boundary but I still get ARP entry right after .NET is installed as prerequisite. I'm using Wix 3.9. My Chain is defined this way: The log from initial run
