Hi, I met with the same problem with the MBA precheck. Definitely, I can have the code in my MBA to check the pre conditions, however, I think the following scenario is totally broken. Eg. We want to block installation of our product on the OS vista or before.
A user uses a vista machine without .net 4. User downloads the package and clicks install. To load MBA, the setup will guide user to install .Net 4 and after installing .net 4, the setup will tell the user, sorry, wrong OS. I think this is a horrible user experience, and I really want to do better here. Is there any possible way to handle the above situation? Any precheck I can do except having it in my MBA.

The Bundle does not have a bal:Condition in it and as far as I can tell there is nothing directly related to Bal:Condition in WixBA. However I think what folks have suggested is that one could look at how the processing of bal:Condition is implemented in the C++ WixStdBA at src\ext\BalExtensions\wixstdba and using that functionality as a pattern implement something like that in the managed BA that you are writing. I think one would want to look at EvaluateConditions in WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp for a starter. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Wix-Burn-Bundle-condition-does-not-work-if-using-MBA-tp7581757p7587777.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
