Hi Team, It's been a while. I've recently given up on trying to find ways to trick the installer into working where a service needs to be started that relies on a copy of the CRT or .NET that the installer has to put on..An age old tale of mystery. I've finally produced a bootstrapped installe

[WiX-users] setupbld diagnosing?

My WiX project has a handful of prerequisites, for example, the application requires .NET 3.5 SP1. My WiX project correctly does not run unless SP1 is installed. I understand that this needs to be done in a bootstrapper. However, after a couple of hours of reading on the Internet and experiment

Don't worry. Burn will be part of WiX v3.5. Said another way, WiX v3.5 won't release without Burn. I'm just caught up in a whirlwind of change right now that has significantly impeded the progress of Burn. Getting all that unblocked is my utmost priority. On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 3:35 AM, warne wa

Turned out this is not so trivial. Line in the setup.cpp file (the source for the SETUPBLD stub setup.exe) says "hr = StrAllocConcat(&pwzProperties, L" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=\"vomus\"", 0);" this forces a minor upgrade instead of a normal install that produces the change/r
