I am trying to create a simple Bundle with a few MSP patches using WIX and Burn. According to the documentation, it seems very straight forward, like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> <Bundle Version="1.0" UpgradeCode="E2713294-EE47-4A20-A2B0-7F9BD6EF0D50"> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense"> <bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LicenseFile="eula-en-us.rtf" SuppressOptionsUI="yes"/> </BootstrapperApplicationRef> <Chain> <MspPackage Id="ccc" SourceFile="ccc-x-none.msp" /> <MspPackage Id="mmm" SourceFile="mmm-x-none.msp" /> </Chain> </Bundle> </Wix> However, the built bundle seems very primitive and therefore I want to know if Burn supports the following features: 1. It display EULA only in en-us language. Is it possible or how to embed EULA of multiple languages into the bundle, so Burn can display EULA corresponding to user's operating system locale? 2. "Bundle.exe /layout" does not extract EULA and individual MSP files, instead, it copies Bundle.exe itself to the specified directory. Our scenario requires the support of file extraction, so users can examine the files or deploy them to elsewhere. I know we can use dark to decompose the bundle, but users have to download WIX toolset to have dark.exe. It is not convenient compared to a self-extracting archive. 3. The bundle does not detect MSP applicability. If I install Bundle.exe to a system with no RTM product installed, the bundle still claims it installs successfully. We would like to show an error instead. Though it is possible to use <util:ProductSearch> and <bal:Condition> to detect MSP applicability, it is really cumbersome and duplicated work, as in the bundle, Burn already generates in "UX\manifest.xml" that contains the /BurnManifest/Chain/MspPackage/@PatchXml which is designed specifically for MSP applicability detection.
