Hi there,
this is my first Project using WiX. I need some licensing software to be
installed in addition to my own software package. So I have to MSI
files, one existing from the license management software and one for my
own software (also build using Wix). My software which is basically a
plug-in for another program. It has to be possible to have multiple
versions Installed, according to the major versions of the host program.
So far I got this working in my MSI (using Upgrade/UpgradeVersion).
Now building a simple bootstrapper to install both MSIs in chain (and
making the licensing system vital), after researching all over I do not
see a way to handle the update behaviour like this. Because the bundle
is now the 'actual' software package installed (i.e. in the ARM), using
the same version numbers as the msi, but wix bundle does not let me
handle update things like msi package and always replaces the installed
version.
As my knowledge with windows installation is not as deep as well, my
first question is if I probably got the purpose of bootstrappers wrong.
Or is it just the WixStandardBA that does not offer me that complexity
and I would have to write my own BA?
Thank you
Felix
