Subject: [WiX-users] Fwd: Re: Bootstrapper for .NET framework 4.0 install does
not work properly
Hi Phil,
Also on examining the log a bit more carefully, i could see the below line
applying execute package: Netfx4Full, action: Install, path:
C:\ProgramData\Package
Cache\58DA3D74DB353AAD03588CBB5CEA8234166D8B99\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe,
arguments: '"C:\ProgramData\Package
Cache\58DA3D74DB353AAD03588CBB5CEA8234166D8B99\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe"
/passive /norestart /ChainingPackage /q'
Is there anything to be changed in the argument that are getting passed here.
Regards,
Suvra Jyoti

Hi Phil,
After changing the type of the bootstrapper to output type .exe i am not facing
the error below. Thanks for the pointer.
But on the trying to install using the bootstrapper .exe created the .NEt
framework does not get installed. It shows the message "Microsoft .NET
framework setup" but then goes on to show the popup as below that shows the
various usage options: Setup[switches]
The other .msi package though does get installed. For all the packages i have
set compressed="yes". I have changed the detect condition to as below from
earlier for the .Net framework .exe package. Below is the same:
<PackageGroup Id="Netfx4Full">
<ExePackage Id="Netfx4Full"
DisplayName="Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0"
Compressed="yes"
Cache="yes"
PerMachine="yes"
Permanent="yes"
Protocol="netfx4"
Vital="yes"
SourceFile="D:\Installables\.NET Framework
4\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe"
InstallCommand="Setup /passive /norestart /ChainingPackage
/q"
RepairCommand="/passive /norestart /repair /ChainingPackage
/q"
UninstallCommand="/uninstall /passive /norestart
/ChainingPackage /q"
DetectCondition="Netfx4FullVersion AND
Netfx4x64FullVersion"/>
</PackageGroup>
In the log file also i can find that the Detectcondition evaluates to false.
Attached is the same. But the .NET framework does start the installation. Could
you please provide some help on this as this is urgent for me.
Regards,
Suvra Jyoti
