Hi I would like to have a file in the ProjectDir that does not get installed
but it helps with the installation. I need to call this file in a C++ Custom
Action, where would I locate it? Is there a such a directory/property?
Kind Regards,
Natalie Carr
Oh if you could let me know as well :)

You'd need to put it in the Binary table, and then extract it in your custom
action before interacting with it. It's easy enough to get the file in to the
table (Binary .../), but extracting it will take a bit of leg work. I don't
believe there is any automated/existing code to extract the

If you can use C# DTF custom actions, this is done for you.

Hello,
I have a bunch of MergeModules that are installing files running custom
actions etc...
I would like to add ActionText so when the custom actions run it provides
the user with info...
How do I add to the ActionText table within WIX?
thanks in advance,

Hi all,
I have decided to use merge modules for all of the file set, since we have
some files that are shared and will be easier to update/upgrade later on…
I have 4 Services Merge modules that are installed to c:\program
files\Company\Product\Services\ Service 1.. Service2.. Service3..

Fixed.
Recursive MSI installs don't work (an oversimplification, but a complete
explanation is too complex). General approaches are to use Burn to install
them separately, or to have one be a prerequisite for the other. This
restriction is why VC Redist runtimes and other MSI-based setups are never
run
Steven,
It sounds like you are calling one MSI from another. This is not a
Windows Installer recommended practice.
If you need to install two MSI's for your application, you should
consider using a bootloader such as Burn to install them one at a time.
Hope that helps
Chris

Sorry for the false alarm,
Figured it out myself... I had the property named one thing but was calling the
deferred customaction with a different Id than the property name hence it
didn’t work :)

I have a run-of-the-mill .NET app with a simple existing WiX project. I'm
trying to include Burn into the project to get the goodness of .NET
framework bootstrapping. The app only needs .NET 4.0, so I'd like to install
nothing if .NET 4.0 or 4.5 is present, or .NET 4.5 if neither are present
I check for .NET4 FULL via this:
Chain
ExePackage Id=DotNetFx40 DisplayName=Microsoft .NET Framework 4

InstallCommand=/passive /norestart
InstallCondition=Installed OR NETFRAMEWORK40FULL Permanent=yes/
Then I have this
I was planning to use PackageGroupRef Id=NetFx45Web/ instead of

PackageGroupRef in the Chain so reference by product's installation? Do I
have to create two separate projects in VS2012, one for the MSI and one for
the bootstrapper?

When using Burn to deploy a rather large MSI (over 27k components), the
WixSTDBA doesn't provide granular enough feedback. I was pondering adding
ActionData messaging so the end user would be aware that the install hasn't

You do need separate projects. One project builds the MSI. The other
project builds the Bundle. The Bundle references the output of the MSI
package using the MsiPackage element. The Chain is an ordered list so put
things in the order you desire.

Ahh, I think this may be the wixstdba trying to avoid a
restart-infinite-loop. After a restart the wixstdba tells the engine to
skip packages that were installed before the restart so that they do not
inadvertently cause a restart again. That's my current guess anyway.

The log file is all I have. Actually i googled the problem before posting
