Pre-requisite here is the pre-req to the "Managed BA". The idea is that if you are going to write your BA in managed code that you'll probably want to ensure the correct version of NETFX is installed. That's what the mbapreq does. That's all stuff for the Managed BA.
Burn itself doesn't have the concept of "pre-reqs". Burn just executes a Chain. Put all the stuff you need in the Chain (in the right order) and Burn will make sure it gets laid down. That usually means you put your "pre-reqs" first and your "product packages" last. <smile/> On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 11:36 PM, Christoffel le Roux < christoffe...@tech.flowcentric.com> wrote: > Ha-ha, duh yes you can... but 'There can only be one' prerequisite...
