This customer has a full install of 400MB (apx), doesn't deliver to nearly that many customers and releases major releases once a quarter and updates every 2-3 weeks. Not all customers want the updates.
Personally I think they are on the fringe of a single MSI major upgrade being OK but the customer voice is that they don't want updates to be larger then around 30MB. ---------------------------------------- From: "Markus Wehrle" <mar...@laika42.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 2:29 PM To: "General discussion about the WiX toolset." <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Burn Question Installation of 1.1 will work with a minimum download of the 5 changed packages if you create a web installer in burn including all 25 packages. But what will happen with your installed version 1.0 in ARP? The entry will stay there. If your 1.0 package gets uninstalled it does not care about the dependency entries of your burn package and uninstall the 20 unchanged MSIs. Your customers then need to repair version 1.1. During repair this 20 packages get downloaded. Regarding the size: One of my customer has web installers for products >2GB for annual updates and monthly updates with around 350MB for about 75000 customers ;) -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Painter [mailto:chr...@iswix.com] Sent: Mittwoch, 30.

You can ship some packages in the bundle and download others on demand. In this case, you can ship those 5 packages in the bundle, and leave the others to be downloaded, which in most cases they won't be. -- Nicolás ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
