The BundleId is most like the PackageCode in MSI. It is unique for every build. There is no way to set it (just like we're removing the ability to set the MSI PackageCode... that was a design mistake). Your BA will get OnDetectRelatedBundle() callbacks. If you have two bundles with the same version and upgrade code then the operation should be NONE, the version will be the same and the bundle Ids will be different.
It appears the wixstdba ignores this scenario and let's you install both. That is arguably a bug. :) On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 2:42 PM, Jose More <josemore...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > It seems that a Bundle Id is generated for every new build and that's why > to end up with multiple entries in ARP.
