Hi
Our wix installer makes use of the visual studio 2008 bootstrapper
functionality to install Windows Installer 3.1, .NET 3.5 SP1 and Crystal
reports.
This used to work but suddenly there is an error when i start the setup on a
clean machine. After aggreeing to the licence files of crystel reports and of
the .NET framework (windows installer is already on the machine) it starts
installing crystal reports but it fails.
In my opinion, the reason for this is the fact that crystal reports gets
installed bevore the .NET framework, which is not the case. How can i ensure
the order in which the prerequisites are installed? I tried to change the
crystal reports package so it depends on the .NET framework but with no success.
Parts of prerequisite package.file (product.xml) from crystal reports:
<DependsOnProduct Code="Microsoft.Net.Framework.3.5.SP1" />
<!--
it actually depends on .Net 2.0 but this way we ensure .net framework is
installed first
<DependsOnProduct Code="Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0" />
-->

Here is our visual studio project file:
<ItemGroup>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Windows.Installer.3.1">
<ProductName>Windows Installer 3.1</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Net.Framework.3.5.SP1">
<ProductName>.NET Framework 3.5 SP1</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
<BootstrapperFile Include="BusinessObjects.CrystalReports.10.5">
<ProductName>Crystal Reports</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
<GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile="Msi\InstallerCaller.msi"
ApplicationName="Calibrate" BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)"
ComponentsLocation="Relative" CopyComponents="True"
OutputPath="bin\$(Configuration)\" Path="$(ProjectDir)\Prerequisites"
Culture="de-de" FallbackCulture="en-us">
</GenerateBootstrapper>
