No, my bootstrapper is an EXE, not MSI. If you call it directly it will create the correct MSI and then launch it. You can also call it with "extract32" or "extract64", which will just extract the correct MSI and you can do whatever you want with it. The EXE does other things as well, like calculate checksum for the files to detect corrupted downloads, warn if you are installing on a unsupported OS, etc.
BTW, I'm still using WiX 3.0 (basically the version that came with WiX Edit) and I think Burn was not an option back then. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Ramirez [mailto:nickra...@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2013 12:05 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Multi-platform installer with WiX You're embedding an MSI inside an MSI? Wouldn't Burn work out better? A Burn bundle can embed all of its resources into a setup executable. Will upgrades still function correctly using an embedded MSI? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Multi-platform -installer-with-WiX-tp7586785p7586810.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
