Burn is for the bootstrapper only (creates bootstrapper exe) but I think you knew that? If you are using MSI only then I think you can embed exe in the MSI like any other file. Never did that to run install so others would have to comment on how to get it to run.

So I want to include the EXE in my MSI, and (silently) run the JRE EXE if it isn't already installed (determined by util:RegistrySearch elements), before the stuff in my installer starts getting unpacked and run. So...if you're suggesting I put my MSI in the EXE, that's not possible, because I can't (or at least don't think) I can or should put my MSI in the JRE EXE. Did you have something else in mind?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Including UtilExtension & a Fragment Hm, I've just been using Candle and Light thus far. Since I'm now including an EXE in my MSI, I take it I now need to use Burn?

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Download and install Java 1.7.0_21 is not a "normal" version number that WiX can compare so that is why I need the two stage search, the first one gets the registry key and then once you have that you can search for the proper version number in the MSI sub key. Specifying v7.0.210 in the comparison makes WiX treat what follows the "v" as a version number so the comparison is actually 7.0.210 >= 7.0.210 which is true. (Version comparison breaks the version string in to its component parts and compares each part.)

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Download and install Java Cool, I think we'll go with this approach. Comparing what's in my registry with what seems to be going on below and since I have no experience with registry searches or ExePackages, I have some questions: 1) The Java version seems to be the value HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\Java7FamilyVersion, which seems to be what Java7FamilyVersion fetches. However, why doesn't WiX ever compare Java7FamilyVersion with what's supposed to be the correct value (i.e. 1.7.0_21)? 2) Since Java7FamilyVersion already seems to get the version, what's the point of doing the second registry search (i.e. "JavaProductVersion")? 3) In my registry, the JavaProductVersion looks like it would fetch "7.0.210", which would always result in the condition "JavaProductVersion >= v7.0.210" being FALSE, no? (Since "7.0.210" != "v7.0.210") 4) What is/should be "[WixBundleLog_Java7Runtime]"?
