I am getting "Error loading prerequisite bootstrapper application because
managed host could not be loaded" in the logs of my custom bootstrapper.
Originally I was using burn 3.9.2, and receiving error code 0x80004001. On
the advice of this thread (http://tinyurl.com/pt9ym65) I tried upgrading to
3.10.0.1823 but am still receiving the same error, only with a different
error code: 0x80131700.
My bootstrapper is targeting .NET 3.5 and is installing 4.5 as a
prerequisite. Curiously enough, I am initially able to install .NET 4.5,
and load my custom bootstrapper. However, if I subsequently uninstall .NET
via ARP, and run my bootstrapper a 2nd time, then I consistently get the
above error. The test environment is running Windows 7 with .NET 3.5
enabled. Here is my bootstrappercore.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="wix.bootstrapper"
type="Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Bootstrapper.BootstrapperSectionGroup,
BootstrapperCore">
<section name="host"
type="Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Bootstrapper.HostSection,
BootstrapperCore" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />
</startup>
<wix.bootstrapper>
<host assemblyName="MyBootstrapperApplication">
<supportedFramework version="v3.5" />
</host>
</wix.bootstrapper>
</configuration>
Can someone please advise whether this is a WiX bug or I am doing something
wrong? Thanks in advance.
Brian
