Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Customizing BA for Burn/Bundles Would that be the code that is here? https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/tree/develop/src/ext/BalExtension mba = WixBA? I was hoping that one could use the same formats for the squences, languages, and ui definitions as one do for pure msi, but that is probably run by something else that is not part of wix?
