Hello,

I have two question about managed bootstrapper in Wix3.6RC.

Firstly, I cant find a way to set up MsiProperty "on the fly". I need setup 
REINSTALL=ALL only if i reinstall the application.
If I set it in WXS (static) then normal installation failed... i guess it is 
only for reinstall mode :)
Or how add parameter for log of msi (for comparing with classic MSI 
installation log).

Second question is Minor upgrade or downgrade (only Product version is 
changed). What enum for Plan i have to use for this kind of update? 
LaunchAction.Repair or LaunchAction.Modify?
I tried LaunchAction.Repair but reinstall was slower than classic msi built-in 
solution. In my opinion the operation was made several times (i guess according 
to MSIMessages) + at the end of repairing is new bootstrapper instance launched.
This instance do some kind of uninstall operation, which remove install 
packages and link of updated version of application (in add/remove programs) is 
invalid.
(Connected problem : Can I set the path for installation packages in add/remove 
programs (in registry?) before/during installation? Or why is uninstall at the 
end of reinstall?)
Launch.Install make a new version and i have two entries in Add/Remove 
programs... Maybe i am naive but does exist any documentation for this?:)

We used EmbeddedUI in WiX in the past and we launched reinstall process with 
REINSTALL=ALL, REINSTALLMODE=vemusc and it was without problems.
We would like to have the same process with MBA.

Thanks for some advice.
Tom.
