If I have a single .msi that installs files and an advertised start
menu shortcut, and some files become damaged or missing, launching the
start menu shortcut will repair the relevant feature(s) and launch the
application anyway.

Hi,
I was experimenting with a custom BA, and I installed my bundle with
it. Now I can't uninstall it because my simplistic BA has no way to
plan uninstallation.

have a new bundle ID, so it offers me to install again, not to

I have decided that my "common dependencies" .msi in my bundles is too

packages.

As far as I know that's only true for MSI product versions, not for

I have a Burn bundle with three MSI packages. The deps package has 100
files adding up to 70MB (uncompressed; the compressed size is 20MB).
The icons package has 6848 tiny files(!) adding up to 35MB. The
application package has merely 10 files adding up to 4MB. The bundle
is using the standard BA.
How do I make heat output !(bindpath.foo) variables in the
File/@Source attributes?
No matter what I try, I get $(bindpath.foo). I only get !() if I use a

If multiple products install the same component in the same folder, the
component is reference-counted, and it is removed when all the products
having that component are uninstalled. This is one of the main features of
Windows Installer and the reason for most of the "component rules".

The key file is usually the one you explicitly mark as keyfile :) I
didn't even know it was possible to leave the KeyFile attribute out.
Seems if you don't have a KeyFile attribute, it picks the first file
in the component.

Your CA_SetCDrive is not being run during uninstallation. You'll

JPEG doesn't support transparency. Also, it's designed for
photograph-like pictures, so you'll likely get artifacts on things

Microsoft says: "Using PowerShell 2.0 with .NET Framework 4.0 is not
supported. While it is possible to force PowerShell 2.0 to run with
.NET Framework 4.0 using various mechanisms such as creating a config
file for PowerShell or editing the registry, these mechanisms aren't
supported and can have
