IIRC, Burn should keep registration in ARP when the first non-permanent package is installed (aka: there is something Burn would do). A RollbackBoundary after the permanent packages *may* be necessary but my memory is fuzzy there.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] .NET Prerequisite, Burn, and the ARP Phil: there's absolutely no need to apologise. All forum users (I know I am) appreciate your input and time spent helping out on the forum. I'll need to look into this issue anyway as part of a project of mine (which I'll get back to soon I hope). I'll report back anything meaningful that I find. I'll certainly give your suggestion, regarding the use of a dummy package ago. If it works though, it still feels like a hack as opposed to a proper solution to me. I haven't looked through the Burn engine code, but from my experience of using Burn to date (granted not very long) - it feels like at some earlier point in development, it was easier to piggy back of the bundle chain to support the runtime environment for the bootstrapper as opposed to having a clean and separate concept for prerequisite(s) specifically for the bootstrapper itself. Could any of the developers comment or share their insight into the design intent that has resulting in what we're seeing now? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
