Re: [WiX-users] Passing values to CA not working
You're running the CA as immediate, I don't think it's necessary to use CustomActionData unless what you really wanted is deferred.

[WiX-users] Burn - Moving payload to Cache Directory
Hi, I noticed that Burn moves the payload to Cached Directory during uninstall even though the ExePackage/@Permanent=yes is set, tried to search the bug list see if there's any related issue about it but no luck. Is this by design? The problem is if the Payload is too big like 1000s of files, it takes time to copy them to payload while they're not to be removed anyway. I think it Burn should only care for the files that needs to be removed? Am I doing it wrong?

Hi, I'm testing my Boostrapper in a clean machine and I noticed that the progress bar when installing .NET Framework does not move. It just stops at 40% while .NET is installing in the background. It doesn't look good when you install .NET in silent mode. It just looks like it is not doing anything or hanging. Is it a bug?
