Hi!
I recently upgraded to WiX 3.6.1908.0 to benefit from the hidden-feature
of bundle variables.
And indeed in my tests changes to hidden variables are logged without the
values.
But: when an MSI package is executed with such a hidden variable as
parameter, the values are still logged in clear
Hi!
My bootstrapper application needs to gather some information from IIS and
therefore needs to be elevated.
Is it possible to embed a manifest requesting the level
requireAdministrator into the bootstrapper? If yes how would this be done?
Best regards

Hi All
I need to include some part code depending on existence of several
macros. I would write something like this:
?if $(var.A) or $(var.B) ?
!--code--
?endif?
Problem is that candle will generate error CNDL0150 (Undefined
preprocessor variable) if any of the variables is not defined.
This works for us
?ifndef compression ?
?define compression = high ?
?endif?

You can embed a custom manifest to a pre-built executable using the MT.exe
tool.

mt.exe -manifest setup.exe.manifest -outputresource:setup.exe

Of course I can use following code but it is a bit unhandy (to check for
aprox. 20 possible macros)
?ifdef A?
?ifdef USE_FEATURE_1?
?undef

This works also for me, but it is not possible (AFAIK) to use 'OR',
'AND' operators in ?ifdef?, ?ifndef? expressions.

This will simplify a bit the code but still it is not very pretty:
?ifdef A?
?ifndef USE_FEATURE_1?
?define USE_FEATURE_1?
Rather than depending on the existence of the variables, could you give them
an arbitrary null/empty/false value as a default and test for them being not
null/empty/false ? Would that work ?

Hello,
I'm a new WiX-user and just try to build a bootstrapper to customize a
PostgreSQL installation.
I use WIX 3.6.1915.0 in VS2010.
I've added two ExePackages into a chain (64bit and 32bit package).
Later I will pass additional parameters to these packages given from
custom dialogs.

Hm... It is problem because the macros are created

Hello,

The goal is very much that a Bootstrapper Application is never elevated. We
don't want BAs writing to the machine. Plus, the start experience for a
bootstrapper is much better if you don't elevate right away.
Unfortunately, IIS really made a mess of things when they did not provide a

Sounds like a bug.

Rob,
I would very much like for you to rethink that goal.
Granted BAs should not write to the system, but there are some
compelling reasons for allowing the BA to run elevated.
1) - Allows a user without elevation
1. That is not the recommended way to deal with UAC from Windows. You're
supposed to display UI and only elevate when the user does an action that
requires it. This is how the Windows Installer behaves. You're also more
likely to ensure that the elevation prompt appears on top of everything
Would you say that this is a WiX bug? Can you think of any workarounds?
