The pre-req bootstrapper only kicks in if the managed bootstrapper application can't be loaded. If it can, it doesn't evaluate pre-req packages.

Bootstrapper requires .NET 4 but I also need to install .NET 4.5.1 as part of installation. I added .NET 4.5.1 to install chain and it installs just fine, but because bootstrapper itself is using .NET it always requires reboot after installation. I want to prevent this so I made the .NET 4.5.1 a prerequisite for bootstrapper. If I install on a machine without .NET it correctly installs .NET 4.5.1 before managed UI starts so no reboot is required. But if I install on a machine where .NET 4 is installed, managed UI starts without installing .NET 4.5.1 in advance and leaves it to install chain. That leads to a reboot requirement again. My question is: Is it possible to force installation of .NET 4.5.1 before managed UI starts, even if .NET 4 or .NET 4.5 is already installed? I would expect that engine evaluates prerequisite package install condition and if it's "true" it installs package before managed UI. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-force-NET-prerequisite-installation-before-Burn-MBA-starts-tp7600085.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
