Hi, Just 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 :-) >From other discussions I assume Burn hides the default MSI UIs and creates its own UI instead. So will Burn represent a complete "wrapper" for all scenarios like Install, repair, modify and remove ? 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!
