Hi,
I am using WiX 3.6.2221.0 to create a bootstrapper that - among others -
installs .NET Framework 4. To be flexible whether to download or embed the
package I created two package groups within one fragment in a WXS file:
<Fragment>
<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Net Framework
Setup\NDP\v4\Full" Value="Version" Variable="Netfx4FullVersion" />
<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Net Framework
Setup\NDP\v4\Full" Value="Version" Variable="Netfx4x64FullVersion" Win64="yes"
/>
<PackageGroup Id="Netfx4Full">
<ExePackage Id="Netfx4Full" Cache="no" Compressed="no" PerMachine="yes"
Permanent="yes" Vital="yes" SourceFile="packages\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe"
DownloadUrl="http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe";
DetectCondition="(NOT Netfx4FullVersion) OR (VersionNT64 AND
(NOT Netfx4x64FullVersion))" />
</PackageGroup>
<PackageGroup Id="Netfx4FullEmbedded">
<ExePackage Id="Netfx4FullEmbedded" Cache="no" Compressed="yes"
PerMachine="yes" Permanent="yes" Vital="yes"
SourceFile="packages\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe"
DetectCondition="(NOT Netfx4FullVersion) OR (VersionNT64 AND
(NOT Netfx4x64FullVersion))" />
</PackageGroup>
</Fragment>
The idea is that I can choose in the chain whether to embed the prerequisite or
not:
Download version:
<Chain>
<PackageGroupRef Id='Netfx4Full' />
<MsiPackage Id='WiXBurnTestSetup' Vital='yes'
Name='data\core.msi'
SourceFile='..\Setup\bin\Release\WiXBurnTestSetup.msi' />
</Chain>
Embedded version:
<Chain>
<PackageGroupRef Id='Netfx4FullEmbedded' />
<MsiPackage Id='WiXBurnTestSetup' Vital='yes'
Name='data\core.msi'
SourceFile='..\Setup\bin\Release\WiXBurnTestSetup.msi' />
</Chain>
The problem is that in both cases the resulting EXE file has the same size. So
it seems that both package groups are used even if I reference ‘Netfx4Full’
only. The interesting thing is that it works as expected if I put each package
group into its own fragment like this:
<Fragment>
<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Net Framework
Setup\NDP\v4\Full" Value="Version" Variable="Netfx4FullVersion" />
<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Net Framework
Setup\NDP\v4\Full" Value="Version" Variable="Netfx4x64FullVersion" Win64="yes"
/>
<PackageGroup Id="Netfx4Full">
<ExePackage Id="Netfx4Full" Cache="no" Compressed="no" PerMachine="yes"
Permanent="yes" Vital="yes" SourceFile="packages\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe"
DownloadUrl="http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe";
DetectCondition="(NOT Netfx4FullVersion) OR (VersionNT64 AND
(NOT Netfx4x64FullVersion))" />
</PackageGroup>
</Fragment>
<Fragment>
<PackageGroup Id="Netfx4FullEmbedded">
<ExePackage Id="Netfx4FullEmbedded" Cache="no" Compressed="yes"
PerMachine="yes" Permanent="yes" Vital="yes"
SourceFile="packages\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe"
DetectCondition="(NOT Netfx4FullVersion) OR (VersionNT64 AND
(NOT Netfx4x64FullVersion))" />
</PackageGroup>
</Fragment>
Is this behavior intended? And if so, what about the registry searches? Do I
have to duplicate them into the other fragment?
Thanks,
Sven
