In your Bundle.wxa, do you have your <Update Location="" /> in place?
I wouldn't have copied the generated files. Easiest way to do a one off
WixStdBA mod that I found was to use
<!-- The following props are needed to build the bundle based off of a
local Wix build -->
<WixToolPath>Z:\$(VersionMajorMinor)\wix3\build\ship\x86\</WixToolPath>
<WixTargetsPath>$(WixToolPath)Wix.targets</WixTargetsPath>
<WixTasksPath>$(WixToolPath)wixtasks.dll</WixTasksPath>
<WixExtDir>$(WixToolPath)</WixExtDir>
In the bundle's wixproj and point it at your local build. If you can't get the
entire build functioning (it should just be a msbuild from the command prompt),
then you can also try
<BootstrapperApplicationRef
Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense">
<bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LicenseFile="License
Agreement.rtf" LogoFile="logo.png" SuppressOptionsUI="yes"
ThemeFile="RtfTheme.xml" />
<Payload SourceFile="Z:\x.y\wix\build\ship\x86\WixStdBA.dll" />
</BootstrapperApplicationRef>
In your Bundle.wxs.
Note, you will need to provide the theme file from my RtfLicense to see the UX
changes.

Hi Jacob,
thanks for the links.
So, i cloned your repo. After a lot of fiddling, I was able to compile
wixstdba. Then I copied the generated files to the installation folder of the
3.9 RC:
* BootstrapperCore.dll
* ManageBundleRunner.dll
* WixStdBA.dll
I wanted to compile more, but there are so many error messages, that I figured
this would be the minimum required.
Next, I generated a new bundle from my application.
When I run it, it still doesn't fetch the feed from the webserver.
What am I missing?
Rgds
Richard
