Ok, so here is a final, tested and fully working solution, which also
takes into account a previously installed version, so in case of an
upgrade the already installed location is used by default. The steps
below are in the order of execution, figured out from the msi logs.
All of this is under a B
Hi,
I added an icon to my bundle, the bundle executable now shows an icon in
explorer. However, when started I still have no icon showing on the
top-left corner of the stdba. I am using a 32x32 ico file specified in
Bundle/@IconSourceFile. Am I missing something?

exactly the same state (which means no bundle installed in ARP as a
separate product). Users will have to uninstall each of the 7 products
individually in both cases.

So I would rephrase my question: is there a way to install a bundle without
registering it not only in "Programs and Features", but in general with
Windoes Installer as a separate product? When I install my bundle I only

Hi,
I have a bundle installer that installs several MSIs, but the bundle itself
does not register itself as a separate product in ARP. I have created a

uninstall it the ususal way: I uninstalled the components one by one. It

This bug was set to fixed, and I've been waiting for the next WiX build to

Hi,
Here is the bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=3419080&group_id=105970
The above bug was causing me lots of headaches - this bug is still not
fixed in the last 3.6 beta, and I can't spend time on building WiX from
source. Without this fix I can't use the Options
ok, I've just found this, I will have to update my WiX installation:

I am trying this now, but it seems that [ProgramFilesFolder] is resolved to
an empty string :(

So is this a missing feature at the moment?

Hi All,
First I thought that this is an obvious question and someone asked it
already, but could not find an answer anywhere. Could someone please let me
know if the "Install location" textbox is setting any WixVariable or
Property at all? And if I could get FileSystemAutoComplete="yes" working

Hi,
I have found the article in the WiX chm file about setting my product icon:
I've changed this slightly, and instead of an icon file I specifiy my main
executable (which contains the product icon). It works fine, except for the
"Programs and Features" list on Windows 7. Everywhere else my i
changed in the registry. So the installer
thought that something got corrupted, and it stopped with an error. I am
not 100% sure about this, but this is my theory.

Well, I have to correct myself:
The Property element would not work in my case, I have to use SetProperty

I removed the Bundle/@Name element from my wxs file, because I don't want
to see the bundle name in the Add/Remove Programs list. However, this

Hi,
It is an exe because it is a bundle installer (it is installing multiple
MSI files I assume). A bundle can't be an msi, it is because of the
limitations of the msi format.

got broken. You should try re-registering it:
