Hi,

As it seems that my post some time ago didn't go through to the
Mailinglist here it is again. Sorry if this should be a double
posting.

Today I did a short coding using burn and saw the fantastic abilities
and the placeholders in the help where some additional nice
functionality will come.

That made me a bit curious about WiX and raised some questions. Would
be fine if somebody could give me some details for a better
understanding of the concept of burn and what Burn is able to do (and
not to do).

Hope these questions don't go into some details which should not
become public right now :-)

In my current understanding the
WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkLicense +
WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense are the default Burn
UIs. As coming from InstallShield following requirements are
frequently in our applications: Have a "Select language" dialog and
afterwards start the MSI with the needed transform which is just for
modifying the UI language of the installer.

For Burn this would mean to have some logic for to have a "Select
Language" dialog and afterwards start
WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense and
WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkLicense localized. Is
something like that planed or do we have to write a custom
bootstrapper application DLL for such a need ? Or will
WixStandandardBootstrapperApplication.Foundation represent a well
configurable Bootstrapper applicaiton which can be configured for such
requirements ? If so will RTL (Right to Left) be considered ?

When installing several MSIs it seems Burn is doing an installation
for each package separate. So I assume Burn doesn't do Multiple
package transactions and therefore doesn't need Windows Installer 4.5.
So will Burn work on lower Windows Installer Versions ?


Thanks for your continuous great work on WiX and Burn!
Tobias
