Hi, I already posted this question in the msbuild forum, but maybe there are WIX developers still using the msbuild-GenerateBootstrapper approach who know an answer to this...
I'm using the GenerateBootstrapper-task to create a bootstrapper for a WIX setup project. Among other things this bootstrapper should take care about installing the Visual C++ Runtime Libraries. Up to now I used Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7. Here everything worked fine by adding "Microsoft.Visual.C++.10.0.x64" or "Microsoft.Visual.C++.10.0.x86" to BootstrapperItems. Now I switched to Visual Studio 2012 and Windows 8 and I cannot figure out how to tell the bootstrapper to install the appropriate Visual C++ runtime. Specifying "Microsoft.Visual.C++.11.0.x64" doesn't work. Normally I would look up the <SDKs>\Bootstrapper\Packages\vcredist folder and look for a 'product.xml' to find out the product code to specify. But I'm having troubles following this pattern in the new system: there is no 'product.xml' in the folders 'vcredist_x64' and 'vcredist_x86' - just an 'en' subfolder containing a 'package.xml'. All the other packages in <SDKs>\Bootstrapper\Packages look ok and have a 'product.xml' in the root. Did someone encounter the same thing? Some ideas how to fix this?
