Hi Rob.
I probably should have mentioned that the bootstrapper we're using is WiX's
burn, and the managed GUI we're making is for it. The BootstrapperApplication
class has an event called DetectPackageComplete. In this event, one gets the
following EventArgs class:
public class DetectPackageCompleteEventArgs
{
public string PackageId { get; }
public PackageState State { get; }
}
It is this PackageState I am talking about; it doesn't get set to what we
expect, as I mentioned in my first mail.
Best regards
ALEXANDER K. SCHRØDER

If you were using native code, then you'd want MsiEnumRelatedProducts(). A
Google search provides a bunch of links with info on how to call it from C#. I
don't know if you're using C# or VB, but a bit of searching around that
function name should get you there.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense
of it. IT sense. And common sense.
