Hi,
I am using Wix 3.8. I have created a web installer which downloads and
install the MSI packages. MSI packages are getting downloaded and placed in
%ProgramData% or %LocalAppData% based on the ForcePerMachine attribute in
MSI Package element by default. Bootstrapper log files are created under
Hello,
I'm just new to WiX and maybe, my question don't make sense, this might be
because I'm not an English native speaker.
So here my question:
I'll like to patch / hotfix an application that was installed by an
Bootstrapper Application.
One more question, is it enough to simply increment th
I tried MSIENFORCEUPGRADECOMPONENTRULES briefly without success but i'm
going to try it more.
However, InstallShield seems to detect these problems for example:

I mixed MSIENFORCEUPGRADECOMPONENTRULES with
MSIUNINSTALLSUPERSEDEDCOMPONENTS
So if i use MSIENFORCEUPGRADECOMPONENTRULES="1" then the patch will fail
because of the violation of the rules, which is good but still a little bit
late in the process to catch it.

Hello,
I have been busy trying to set up a bootstrapper to work with multiple instance
transforms.
Does burn work with this in WiX 3.8?
Maybe there're alternatives?

Anyone seen this before? I've bundles built using WiX v3.6 which are failing to
apply a patch which has been signed by a renewed code signing certificate. The
bundle was signed by the previous certificate which expired last month but both
the bundle & the patch show up as valid signatures when I
Does the computer have internet access? Looks like it's not finding a "parent"
certificate for validation. Not sure. Others on this list said that
validation can be a problem when you don't have internet access and the proper
certificates aren't on the computer.

I should mention there was discussion by wix team on defaulting to hash
checking of files instead of the vericode signature. I changed over my bundles
to use hash checking. From what I can tell and find using hash verification is
just as good.

I noticed a problem once. Not sure why. I also saw comments from others
that this can be problematic, so I set SuppressSignatureVerification="yes"
on my packages in the bundle chain.

In this case the code is valid, as Windows Update uses the MSI
Installer as the main method of distribution, so I tend to disagree in
this case.

Customers may vary.
My customers are not computer inclined at all and 90% of time don't have IT
backup. They are mechanical technicians who often who don't know the first
thing about computers. If the installer doesn't work they can't do their job.
The PC is an annoying tool they have to use
So I rebuilt the bundle without changing any of the code, simply supplying the
newly signed patch at the path specified in my bundle's .wxs file (all other
payloads were also as before).
Guess what, it installs perfectly fine now. No need for anything like the

Yes, there is a tremendous amount of trust between a Bundle and it's payloads.
The Bundle knows a lot about its payloads and does quite a bit to make sure bad
guys don't slip bad stuff in there to usurp your customers. It does mean that
changes to 1 or more payloads typically means updating the
When I run my bundle from the command line it returns immediately with a
return code of zero. How do I run the bundle silently/quietly and retrieve
the return code to determine if it succeeded or failed?

Fair enough. I suppose you could do this too:
cmd /c bundle.exe /quiet
Thanks Rob.

Probably. I trust start more than cmd to not mess with the ERRORLEVEL, that's
all.
