[WiX-users] Custom BA, Repair, and Cached MSI's

Greetings, We are working on a custom bootstrapper application and would like to support repair. Our current idea is to run the ba (from the cache) with a repair flag that will force various MSI's installed to run in repair mode. The BA, and the MSI's installed are all in the cache on the PC.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing MSI's NOT Included in my Bootstrapper Application Bundle

Thanks Phil. However I'm still not clear about the entire workflow. I only have one bootstrapper application which includes no addons. Addons will come later as separate MSI's (on their own physical DVD to make things more interesting). So on the DVD I'll literally have just one MSI and mayb

Re: [WiX-users] Installing MSI's NOT Included in my Bootstrapper Application Bundle

Is this still possible even if I do not know what add-ons will be available at the time of my main BA release? It is so difficult finding examples of relatedbundle addons in the archives... Robert -Original Message- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@firegiant.com] Sent: Wednesday, Sept

[WiX-users] Installing MSI's NOT Included in my Bootstrapper Application Bundle

Greetings, I have a custom C# bootstrapper application that chains a few MSI's together and installs them. No problems here. However, we plan on introducing other add-ons to our software which are not included in our original bootstrapper app chain. These other add-ons will be MSI's (develop

[WiX-users] MBA and outside executables

Greetings, Our customers work in regulated environments and as such there are external tools that will be included on our DVD that we need to use to check for "system compatibility." These tools are exe's and do not get installed. My question is, will a MBA be able to call these tools sitting

[WiX-users] MBA and MSI's across different DVD's

Greetings, We're considering moving away from a custom C# installer to a MBA with Burn on wix 3.7. We do have a question with regard to MSI's sitting on different DVD's but before I ask the question let me see if I can set the stage for what we currently do: We currently have a custom c# inst

Re: [WiX-users] MBA - Run an app as part of an ExePackage?

Ok maybe I should phrase it in a more generic way. An exe that does more than just enter info into a database. BTW, the "enter info into the db" part must be done through the exe by using an exposed API installed as part of an earlier MSI. This exe would do things like adjust firewall setting

[WiX-users] MBA - Run an app as part of an ExePackage?

Greetings, I have an exe that needs to run at the end of installation. The exe itself is just an app that runs and enters information into a databse which was installed as a part of an earlier MSI in my bundle. This exe is NOT installed anywhere on disk. My question is, can I use the ExePack
