I understand that Burn does not support multi-instance transforms atm. I was referring to what Jacob Hoover said quoted below:
"Is there a reason you are using instance transforms instead of multiple MSI's? I started with instance transforms (and contributed some changes for them) but have since backed away and I am generating individual MSI's for each. I use external CAB's, so there is no duplicated data files, just the slight bloat of having a MSI per instance." The above is what I am curious about. Does burn conditionally install one of the MSI's depending on a condition? How does upgrades work with the above etc? I would be interested in doing this over the way we are currently doing it because if upgrades work smoothly then I think this will be a cleaner approach than what we currently do.

Not implemented yet. -----Original Message----- From: tyler.w.r...@accenture.com<mailto:tyler.w.r...@accenture.com> [mailto:tyler.w.r...@accenture.com] Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2013 1:31 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [WiX-users] Burn Multi-Instance Installs with Multiple MSI's Hello, I was doing some googling and found an archived mailing list talking about doing Multi Instance installs with external CABs and multiple MSI's. Could someone elaborate on this a little more like how to handle selecting the correct MSI from Burn etc? Below is the link to the conversation I am asking about. http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Multiple-Instances-amp-Burn-Bootstrapper-td7586370.html Tyler Reid | Operations and Infrastructure | Accenture Software | P&C Insurance 1807 Jones Street | Bolivar, MO 65613| USA Office: +cc.xxx.xxx.xxxx | Fax: 417.777.3792 E-Mail: tyler.w.r...@accenture.com<mailto:tyler.w.r...@accenture.com<mailto:tyler.w.r...@accenture.com%3cmailto:tyler.w.r...@accenture.com>> | www.accenture.com/pcsoftware<http://www.accenture.com/pcsoftware<http://www.accenture.com/pcsoftware%3chttp:/www.accenture.com/pcsoftware>> ________________________________ This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise confidential information.
