Hi,
I am working on a setup program which needs to meet the following requirements.
I tried to use bootstrapper to accomplish those, but, didn't figure out a way
to do so. Thank you in advance for any help or hint.
1. Is that possible to install a dependency automatically which will be
used by the customize BA UI?
For example, my customize UI is written in WPF and will require .Net 3.5 is
enabled on 2008R2. My question is, is there possible to detect if the feature
is enabled, and if not enable it automatically? I am using the .Net 4
bootstrapper sample code as an example, and found the installation of the
packages will be invoked when the MSI is launched. That doesn't meet my
requirement, since I need it before the UI. Is that possible to invoke the
installation action early?
2. Is there possible to launch Bootstrapper as elevated?
I am following the UAC guide to create a manifest for my bootstrapper.exe, as
follows, but whenever I add the following line to the wixproj, and the dialog
asking for admin permission shows up but the BAUX doesn't get launched any
more. Is there any guidance how to deal with this? My custom UI setup requires
write a bunch of regkeys.
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
<Exec Command=""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\mt.exe" -manifest
$(ProjectDir)$(TargetName).exe.manifest
-outputresource:$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)" />
</Target>
Thank you,
Nan
