[WiX-users] Burn/bundle EXE - setting property?

Hi! I have a WiX bundle executable (using Bundle/Chain/MsiPackage elements) I use to install 2 different MSI packages. I already have several MSI properties as Variable elements that are defined in the bundle and passed along to the MSI packages as MsiProperty elements. My question now is, how c

A Bundle is not processed by msiexec.exe and does not have a "Property" in the MSI sense of the term. A Burn Bundle may have Burn "variables", which are a slightly different concept than a "Property". You cannot "set" the variable in the Bundle (wxs authoring), but you can make it bal:Overridable

The symptoms that you have shared, (installs on a clean system, but when the "old" driver is present, the "new" driver is added to the driver store, but the class installer is not invoked by the PNP manager) are commonly due to the fact that the "new" driver has a lower driver rank than the "old" d

You have Return="ignore" which means "the custom action will run synchronously and the return code will not be checked". If you want the action to run asynchronously then use Return="asyncNoWait". (I have not done this so I don't know if there are other issues, particularly related to the fact th

[WiX-users] Build warning request

2014-06-12 Thread Tunney, Stephen
Hey WiX team, Can we perhaps put a compiler warning in if a bindpath isn't used? And perhaps also add a build error when a user tries to use pure wix patching method without a bindpath? Would be thrown during the light.exe phase when outputting a wixmsp file. Thoughts? Stephen Tunney Nuance

I may be speaking out of turn, but from what I have read, the XML is output if the change does not require changing any file objects. If the patch deploys files then they are also added to a cab. (I hope this is correct and I apologize if I have mislead anyone.) -- View this message in context

I can agree with the first, but the second scenario will simply result in a useless patch if the user doesn't have bindpaths and tried to do pure wix patching. I've tried with the simplest scenarios and pyro creates warnings stating that each transform applied has not differences. _
