Re: [WiX-users] Failed to extract payloads from container after reboot continuation

I found some more information. The issue does not seem to be caused by NSIS wrapper but by fact that original .exe name is different than what Burn expects. New STR are: - Build BS as setup.exe - Rename BS to installer.exe - Run install from installer.exe - Let .NET prereq be installed - Reboot

[WiX-users] Reboot after NetFx451Redist problem

I think I've encountered the reboot required scenario covered here http://sourceforge.net/p/wix/bugs/3310/ Various windows services subsequently installed by our MSI fail as the framework seems to need a reboot. Having looked at what's done in \src\ext\NetFxExtension\wixlib\NetFx451.wxs I'm

Re: [WiX-users] WixUI_FeatureTree : What if all deselected?

Thanks for the suggestion . For one product we have done exactly as you said. But for other product, we have to have all the three features to be optional. So, user can deselect any feature. But, if user does not select any, it is the problem. 1. Can't it be fixed from lower level? 2. how are

Thanks for your response. if silent switch is not present in the command line of burn, I don't want to pass /silent to the command line of the exe package. how to do that? -- View this message in context:

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: how to elevate BA? (Manifest for Burn Bootstrapper [Continue])

This is just wrong. There are valid scenarios when Bootstrapper may need for example to write a registry value. I don't say that it should be default mode but it should be possible to request elevation for whole BS. Burn is really powerful with custom MBA but this limitation just says We know

Re: [WiX-users] WixUI_FeatureTree : What if all deselected?

Hi Sampat, WIX does not give you the functionality to disable the next button by default if no feature is selected. But there are events conditions you can set to disable the button. This is what I do and works good for me: --Publish a property on the CustomizeDialog page: Publish

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: how to elevate BA? (Manifest for Burn Bootstrapper [Continue])

It's not fixed key. I use bootstrapper to gather various configuration information from user which are then used to configure product and not all of then are passed to MSIs. Adding logic to MSI to be able to get this information via MSI properties, parse it and then store it in registry is just

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: how to elevate BA? (Manifest for Burn Bootstrapper [Continue])

The BA should never modify machine state. What happens when your BA modifies state during an update, but then the user aborts the update? If you modify state, you have to restore it. You would also need to persist the rollback info across reboot boundaries. Windows Installer can be viewed

Re: [WiX-users] How to pass command line switch to exe package ?

The Engine.Command.Display object lets you know if your BA is running with or without a UI. see src\burn\inc\IBootstrapperApplicaiton.h near line 17 see src\burn\engine\core.cpp near line 854 An example in a managed BA is at: src\Setup\WixBA\WixBA.cs Run Method. One approach is to use the

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: how to elevate BA? (Manifest for Burn Bootstrapper [Continue])

Why custom actions to write registry keys? Why so much complexity? Actually, those are rhetorical questions, I don't really want to know the answers. smile/ You are choosing to work against installation best practices. Best of luck to you.
