If I understand correctly this is what I asked about many moons ago. What I was
told at the time as a possibility - which we implemented - is that one can
"unbundle" and then parse the XML from one of the files:
Dim b As New Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Unbinder
Dim out As Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Output = b.Unbind(fileName,
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.OutputType.Bundle, scratchDirectory)
uc =
ExeTools.GetUpgradeCodeByPath(String.Format(Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture(),
"{0}ux\BootStrapperApplicationData.xml", scratchDirectory))
where scratchdirectory is where you want to unbundle
and GetUpgradeCodeByPath is (error handling etc, omitted):
Dim uc As String = String.Empty
Dim tempXml As New XmlDocument
tempXml.Load(applicationDataFile)
If tempXml.ChildNodes(1).Name = "BootstrapperApplicationData" Then
uc =
tempXml.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(0).Attributes("UpgradeCode").InnerText
End If
Return uc
Note that this is fairly slow and would probably be onerous if one had giant
bundles (ours are tens of megabytes at most).
I'm not sure how one would do this from a Burn bundle; might need custom.
