Hello there,

after some googling around I couldn't find a good match for this question,
so let me start a new thread.

What I would like to have is a bundle with embedded (= compressed) MSI
packages inside, but then have my custom managed bootstrapper (or burn)
check if there is a newer version of the MSIs available on our server and
download and use that instead of the embedded one. The embedded one would
only be used if either the server can't be reached (no network connection
etc.) or if the embedded version is equal or higher than the remote one.

Is this possible? Maybe through some clever handling of ResolveSource
events? I have a feeling I know the answer already, but wanted to make sure.

If the answer is no, would it be possible if the MSIs weren't embedded but
separate files? I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes.

The closest related thread I could find is this one, but my scenario is
slightly different:
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-not-uninstalling-MSI-downloaded-from-URL-td7591602.html
.

The next best alternative that I believe is possible would be to have an
online and an offline version of my bundle, one that has the MSIs embedded,
and one that downloads them first, just not both in one bundle, right?
