You can change properties in a minor upgrade. You should describe what your problem is otherwise it's just blind guesswork. -Original Message- From: Chaitanya [mailto:chaita...@pointcross.com] Sent: 31 October 2012 07:17 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject:

[WiX-users] custom actions in burn?

2012-10-31 Thread StevenOgilvie
Hi all, I have a product that installs a 32 bit version and 64 bit version installer (two .msi) I have a custom action in product.wxs that determines the "bitness" of Microsoft Outlook (whether the user installed 32 bit or 64 bit version of Outlook, our product is an add-in). so I have 2 msi's, b

Re: [WiX-users] custom actions in burn?

2012-10-31 Thread Peter Shirtcliffe
I imagine that a Burn custom action would be part of the code of a custom bootstrapper application that would set a variable during the appropriate event. Could you not use a util:product search or utilL:registry search to determine which outlook is installed ? Save you a lot of work unless you've

So from your answer it sounds like you cannot really use in burn? I have 2007/2010/2013 Outlook and 32 bit/64 bit checking for the bitness isn't simple, we have a custom action dll that does that for us and returns a MSI property (which I use in the MSI) Steve -Original Message- From

Nope. You can spot what's allowed in Burn by tracing up through the Parents section of the help. In the case of CustomAction, the parents are Fragment, Module and Product. Technically, you can have Fragments in Burn but you'd expect to see Bundle listed as well if it was. -Original Message---

There is no such thing as a CustomAction in the context of burn. If you can't use a combination of the existing searches (Registry/Component/Directory/Product/File) you either need to extend the existing BA/UX or write your own, neither of which are trivial. -Original Message- From: Pe
