Hi! Still trying to figure out how the custom managed bootstrapper works. I'm looking at the source for the project found here:
http://bryanpjohnston.com/2012/09/28/custom-wix-managed-bootstrapper-application/ And in the source for WixBA project but I don't understand how to get an upgrade to work correctly. What I've done is the following: 1. Set a fixed guid in the product id in "Product.wxs" so that it's not regenerated between builds. 2. Run the boostrapper and installed the package. The package is in the add/remove programs list. 3. Changed the bundle version from 1.0.0.0 to 2.0.0.0. 4. Changed the code of the install button to the following private void InstallExecute() { IsThinking = true; Bootstrapper.Engine.Plan(LaunchAction.UpdateReplace); } After looking in the WixBA project it seems as that should be the launch action if a previous version is installed 5. Built the project again and installed agan with LaunchAction.UpdateReplace. But nothing happens and the log says there was an error: [2848:2E78][2013-01-27T10:52:40]i001: Burn v3.7.1224.0, Windows v6.2 (Build 9200: Service Pack 0), path: C:\Users\Kristian\Downloads\TestBA\TestBA\BootstrapperSetup\bin\Debug\BootstrapperSetup.exe, cmdline: '' [2848:2E78][2013-01-27T10:52:40]i000: Setting string variable 'WixBundleLog' to value 'C:\Users\Kristian\AppData\Local\Temp\BBB_boostrapper_20130127105240.log' [2848:2E78][2013-01-27T10:52:40]i000: Setting string variable 'WixBundleOriginalSource' to value 'C:\Users\Kristian\Downloads\TestBA\TestBA\BootstrapperSetup\bin\Debug\BootstrapperSetup.exe' [2848:2E78][2013-01-27T10:52:40]i000: Setting string variable 'WixBundleName' to value 'BBB boostrapper' [2848:2E78][2013-01-27T10:52:40]i000: Loading managed bootstrapper application.
