Hello, I'm pretty new to WiX. I've looked all over for some definitive answer but have not found resolution to my issue, so I'm bringing it to this list.
I have a Bundle and a MBA written in WPF. The bundle contains two packages, both packages are MSI compiled from other WiX Product packages. Example: ____________ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Product Id=" REDACTED " Name="REDACTED" Language="1033" Version="13.0.1.11" Manufacturer=" REDACTED " UpgradeCode=" REDACTED "> <Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" /> <MajorUpgrade AllowSameVersionUpgrades="no" DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." /> <MediaTemplate EmbedCab="yes" /> <Feature Id="ProductFeature" ConfigurableDirectory="INSTALLFOLDER" Display="expand" Title=" REDACTED " Level="1" > <ComponentGroupRef Id="ProductComponents" /> </Feature> </Product> <Fragment> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name=" REDACTED " /> <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder"> <Directory Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder" Name=" REDACTED "/> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <DirectoryRef Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder"> <Component Id="ApplicationShortcut" Guid=" REDACTED "> <Shortcut Id="UninstallProduct" Name=" REDACTED " Description=" REDACTED " Target="[SystemFolder]msiexec.exe" Arguments="/x [ProductCode]"/> <RemoveFolder Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder" On="uninstall"/> <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\ REDACTED " Name="installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/> </Component> </DirectoryRef> </Fragment> <Fragment> <ComponentGroup Id="ProductComponents" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER"> <ComponentGroupRef Id="HeatGenerated"/> <ComponentRef Id="ApplicationShortcut"/> </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> </Wix> _______________ Bundle: ________ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension"; > <Bundle Name="REDACTED" Version="13.0.1.11" Manufacturer=" REDACTED " UpgradeCode=" REDACTED " IconSourceFile=" REDACTED _AddRemove.ico" > <Variable Name="InstallFolder" Type="string" Value="[ProgramFilesFolder] REDACTED "/> <Variable Name=" REDACTED " Type="string" Value="[ProgramFilesFolder] REDACTED "/> <Variable Name="WCFUser" bal:Overridable="yes" Persisted="yes" Type="string" Value=".\LocalSystem"/> <Variable Name="WCFPassword" bal:Overridable="yes" Persisted="yes" Type="string" Value=""/> <RelatedBundle Id=" REDACTED " Action="Upgrade" /> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost"> <PayloadGroupRef Id="InstallerPayload"/> </BootstrapperApplicationRef> <Chain> <PackageGroupRef Id='Netfx4Full' /> <MsiPackage SourceFile="$(var.
