Wow, AutoIt is really great! I'm totally loving it. It's a simple, easy to use syntax and it's quite sophisticated. Compiles to a native app, very small footprint. I've got a nice little custom bootstrapper now, combined with my WinRAR self-extractor and WiX installer, and this is shaping up to be

Re: [WiX-users] .NET Bootstrapper, Self-Extracting Executables

Thanks for the tip! I will look into the AutoIt language. To get me started, could you provide me with a sample piece of your script that checks the .NET version and downloads/launches the installer? Logan DEÁK JAHN, Gábor-2 wrote: > > On Sun, 19 Oct 2008 10:41:05 -0700, Rob Mensching wrote:

Well the problem was that the bootstrapper was not working properly, in a number of ways. (I'm attempting to use the NetFx35ClientSetup.exe bootstrapper) First of all it was always running, even if the user has the framework installed, which I don't like because it detracts from my app's setup ex

Ah, excellent. Glad to know it's planned. Good codename too, fits well with the theme. :) I'll keep fiddling around for a workaround in the meantime, but I do have one more related question: 3. Is it possible to launch an embedded .exe file (namely DotNetFx35ClientSetup.exe) using a custom act

2. The WiX bootstrapper is codenamed "burn" and it will be built in WiX v3.5. The lack of a bootstrapper in the WiX toolset is a huge problem and based on feedback, people wanted a stable WiX v3 before a bootstrapper could be added. Thus that's the plan we're executing on. -Original Mess
