[WiX-users] Burn digital signature

2012-01-05 Thread Kelly Graus
Hello, I'm currently in the process of setting up a bootstrapper using Burn. In the past, we've signed our MSI files so that we don't get the yellow unknown publisher warning dialog when prompted to elevate. However, signing the executable generated by Burn doesn't seem to work - it looks lik

[WiX-users] Minor Upgrade Patching - Preventing Downgrade

2012-01-05 Thread Hoover, Jacob
Is there a way of informing an end user that a patch is not valid (due to a newer patch all ready being applied)? I currently have a series of MSI files, and a series of patches (MSPs) which progressively upgrade installed instances (say v1.0.1, 1.0.2, and 1.0.3). If I install 1.0.1, and then ap

[WiX-users] Globalized Bundle?

2012-01-05 Thread Ian Williams
I'm trying to investigate the viability of making my bundle installer "globalized" - that is, it is one installer that will look at the language of the system in order to choose how to present itself to the user (and perhaps what to install). I thought that was one of the advantages of using a b

[WiX-users] Framework 4.0 LINK instead of bootstrapper

2012-01-05 Thread Bruce Gombrelli (Experis)
I'd like to check and install Framework 4.0 from a **LINK** rather than having to include the entire framework 4.1 (and Windows installer 3.1) in my distribution package. I'm currently doing it using an bootstrapper but have to package up the Framework 4.0 and windows installer 3.1 in my downlo
