Burn persisting variables can be used instead of using the Remember Property as long as all your entry points go through Burn. If you need your properties to be populated during a repair of the MSI directly or patch (which is a repair in the end) that isn't executed from the Bundle first then you might still use the Remember Property Pattern.

As I read about the 'Remember Property' pattern, the discussion seems to be related to deploying a MSI and the various ways that a user might launch the MSI (ie. Install, Repair, Repair from ARP, ...) with that property on the command line. If I plan to use the model of Brun to provide the UX for a chain of MsiPackage(s), does defining the Burn Variables (which are passed to MsiProperty elements) as presisted='yes' provide the same behavior, or should the 'Remember Property' pattern also be implemented in the MSI packages, which are only deployed as part of the bundle? Thanks for the advice. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Remember-Property-pattern-vs-persisting-Burn-variable-tp7593374.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
