Hi Rob,
Thank You for the insight on using PlanPackageBegin event. I tried your
recommendation in my wpf app, but haven't had much success. I have a simple
wix ba project that contains one bundle and chain element.
In my PlanPackageBegin event I have added source code to check for
Netfx4Full. The problem here is that my PlanPackageBegin operation is never
called. Although it has been subscribed to an event in my constructor.
Where did I go wrong here in my implementation.
I've added code for reference below:
