This looks like a message hijack as this thread is about the ia64 difx implementation in wix 3.x. I remember your query under the subject of "[WiX-users] Question regarding BootstrappeFiler Include= Crystal Reports". Furthermore, you have now asked this three times in less than 24 hours (some people only see what is posted to this list once per day).
However, to attempt to answer your question: the msbuild BootstrapperFile element is related to Visual Studio's shipped-for-developers bootstrapper included in the SDK. While some people on this list have some experience with this bootstrapper, many (dare I say most?) don't, and it has nothing to do with the wix team per se. You may get better results using a visual studio support forum on MSDN as both regular users of that bootstrapper as well as MSFT team members responsible for that product live there. I hadn't responded before in hopes that someone else who has more experience with that bootstrapper would have responded assuming that they had run into that issue. Since no one has responded, one can only conclude that all us non-experts in that bootstrapper don't know the answer either. The only bootstrapper the this team can claim for our own is burn, and it hasn't been released yet (it is still undergoing active development). -----Original Message----- From: Jahanzeb Khan [mailto:jk...@commondesk.com] Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 8:28 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] missing WIX 3.0 binary distributionfile 'difxapp_ia64.wixlib' One more try... in getting question answered. Hi all, I am trying to use the BootstrapperFile Include to install Crystall Reports runtime; I tried using the <Visible> tag (snippet of code is attached below) to suppress the UI that pops up when the bootstrap is executing for crystal report runtime; but for some weird reason the <Visible> has no affect on the installer and I still see the license dialog box/UI from Crystal report runtime installer(license screen); is there another way to suppress or hide the license screen ui that pops up with the runtime installer? I don't wanna show their (crystal reports) license screen first before my installers license screen. So, any way to do that (either suppress Crystal reports license dialog box or show mine first)? Thank you, khan <BootstrapperFile Include="BusinessObjects.CrystalReports.10.5"> <Visible>False</Visible> <ProductName>CrystalReports 10.5</ProductName> <Install> true</Install> </BootstrapperFile> -----Original Message----- From: Bob Arnson [mailto:b...@joyofsetup.com] Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 11:29 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Please open a bug on SourceForge; it's also missing from WiX v3.5 builds but if that's fixed, you should be able to use it with WiX v3.0 RTM. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Come build with us!
