Hi
I'd like to create my own UI for my bootstrapper.
There is no documentation about it, neither a template project in the VS
new projects
I am doing so:
-download wix3.6 source code
-compiling wixstdba from source code
-using it:
with some Payloads (pngs, xml, wxl...)
My two questions are:

Hi
I would like to know if it's worth migrating all the UI to the bootstrapper?
Also, is it worth starting the software exe from the MSI, or from the
bootstrapper?
I am trying to understand where should be placed things, I mean, I
wonder "should I put this action in a custom wixstdba or should i
Hi
I'd like to move a setup (that has only one pre-req) from MSI UI to
bootstrapper UI.
To achieve it, should I have to create my own wixstdba? I ask this
because I need a UI with many pages, each one customized, so I cannot
re-use the standard one.
Does it make sense to do all the UI in the boo

I created my own bootstrapper application, because I need to have a

I'd like to add dynamically some properties to my main MSI (from my
custom wixstdba.dll).
Is that possible?, even using a ?

Here is my log when my BA is downloading a msi package from a server:

Just to say that I had to modify manually my bootstrapper and msi
projects to create x64 configuration.
VS2010 created the configurations correctly, but was not saving them to
the wixproj files.
After modifying them manually it worked...
is this a bug?

Hi
As the 3.7 RC was released some weeks ago now, I wonder if you have a
date about final release?
Also, today I read the post about WiX 4.0 on Rob's blog, will the
msi+bootstrappers created with WiX3.6/3.7 be updated without any problem
when migrating later to bootstrappers created with 4.0 (I

Also I created a custom wixstdba.dll to which I added:

all the people using it) a merry christmas!

You should use WiX 3.6 or 3.7 with burn to create a bootstrapper,
instead of installing setup exe from an msi.

I would say that as a hack you could write a program that modifies/adds
the manifest resource. it's not so much complicated.

Hi
In my wix product project, I create some file associations in the registry.
I have a small c++ custom action with only:
::SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_DWORD | SHCNF_FLUSH, NULL,
NULL);
::Sleep(1000); //

Hi all,
I search the web for information about it, but it's quite confusing for me.
I currently have a bootstrapper (i'm using wix3.7), a custom
wixstdba.dll, and one setup msi.
My UI is displayed by the bootstrapper, nothing is displayed from the
msi itself.
I'd like to handle more than one la
