In regard to the above discussion about your mba code, I was recently looking
at similar code in the wix src\Setup\WixBA\InstallViewModel.cs which has the
following code:
private void PlanPackageBegin(object sender,
PlanPackageBeginEventArgs e)
{
if
(WixBA.Model.Engine.StringVariables.Contains("MbaNetfxPackageId") &&
e.PackageId.Equals(WixBA.Model.Engine.StringVariables["MbaNetfxPackageId"],
StringComparison.Ordinal))
{
e.State = RequestState.None;
}
}
So if you had code like this in your mba, I then:
1) Added as the first item in my Chain.
<PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40ClientWeb" />
I did not author the PackageGroupRef but used what is in the wixNetExtension
2) Added a MbaNetfxPackageId WixVariable, and did not author the following
<WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqPackageId" Value="Netfx4Full" />
<WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl" Value="NetfxLicense.rtf" />
When I had the above in the wix file I got a duplicate Id error. So I have:
<WixVariable Id="MbaPrereqPackageId" Value="NetFx40ClientWeb" />
This seems to be working for me. I had been meaning to sort out this issue
as QA raised questions about it yesterday. Thanks to your post I was able
to get it working. I still have some testing to do so maybe I am
overlooking something.
