[WiX-users] difference using burn and visual studio to boot strap?

2012-04-09 Thread victorwhiskey
What's the difference/benefits of using burn over visual studio to bootstrap a .net installer with a MSI? Also does burn only create a .EXE or is it possible to create a MSI bootstrapper? Thanks -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/diffe

Do you have any more details of the error? The normal behavior in full UI mode is that you will see an error message and the install transaction will roll back. Phil W -Original Message- From: Niklaus Pham [mailto:niklaus.p...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2012 12:14 AM To: wix-u

[WiX-users] WiX 3.6 RC0 Bootstrapper logging

2012-04-09 Thread Robin Sanner
I think I have everything set up correctly. My bundle project produces the file bootstrappersetup.exe. When I run this file, however, nothing happens. I don't even get a process showing up in Task Manager. Is there some way I can enable logging so I can see what's going wrong? Robin Sanner

Thanks for your replies. I've started reading the book that Neil mentions but have a three early questions: 1. The book specifically states that Visual Studio 2005/2008 is required - I assume that is only for Votive and there is no reason that I cannot use WiX without VS? 2. Question 1 aside

1. Correct. 2. Yes. IntelliSense kinda' makes everything awesome. 3. "100" would get you MSI 1.0. There was no MSI before 1.0. On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 8:38 PM, Ian Brooke wrote: > Thanks for your replies. > > I've started reading the book that Neil mentions but have a three early > questions: >

Logging is on by default. Look in your temp folder. On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 3:55 PM, Robin Sanner wrote: > I think I have everything set up correctly. My bundle project produces > the file bootstrappersetup.exe. When I run this file, however, nothing > happens. I don't even get a process showin

1. Burn is a bootstrap platform, and a basic end-to-end solution is provided in WiX. VS Bootstrapper is a simple end-to-end solution that does what it does, not much else. 2. No, MSIs cannot be bootstrappers because and MSI cannot install another MSI. On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 9:43 AM, victorwhiskey
