Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to customize error messages in Wix standard 
bootstrapper application

The issue is not about the MSI's MajorUpgrade. This issue is about not able to 
customize error message in Wix standard bootstrapper application during 
downgrade case. No doubt, my MSI has MajorUpgrade element with proper downgrade 
error message. This message is never shown (note that my MSI is called from Wix 
standard Bootstrapper application) while running bootstrapper application in 
downgrade scenario.

To simply put, when I run my Wix standard bootstrapper application with lower 
version (note that bootstrapper version is set to that of MSI version) on top 
of the similar installed Wix bootstrapper standard application with higher 
version, the setup fails (as expected, with error text as shown in this post). 
My concern is how can I change the displayed error message? Can I customize 
that? What changes in bootstrapper are required to change the error text?

Note:
1. My internal MSI (that is called by my standard bootstrapper application) has 
MajorUpgrade element with proper "DowngradeErrorMessage" sub element.

2. Bootstrapper application has "RelatedBundle" element with Action="Upgrade"

Thanks,
DP
