Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrap conditioned on OSbittage

to bundle (and conditionalise) the exes but hide the bundle's ARP entry and expose the third party exes ARP entries? If so could the user could use that to repair/uninstall so it effectively wouldn't appear that the package had been 'bundled'? Many Thanks On 17 June 2015 at 12:36, M

We've started seeing this a lot recently. Installed the kb on to Win 7 and Win 8 VMs but it didn't replicate it. Our customers with the issue are usually running some sort of antivirus and we presumed it's some kind of conflict with that but we've had no success with disabling Anti-virus with ms

Use the version lying technique: Change the version of this FileId to 10.1.1 in your patch upgrade image by editing the msi in orca. Then re-build the patch pointing to your edited MSI. When the patch installs on top of the localised version it won't matter that the transform has removed this a

Hi WiX users I've got a product B that shares a (hidden) feature with it's predecessor A. If I install A over B the registry we use toggles back the the old app location. Since we may want to have update B's feature at some point this is bad. My company doesn't like to uninstall the old produc

Small updates do not require changing the product code! This forces a major update and thus your update is massive:-) . All msi file have a package code which should probably be left to generate automatically. This should be changed in any event. As an aside, if you can find a reason to update
