They allow you to install multiple packages in a row, so they're a 
natural place to offer downloading.

Hi,

Can anybody throw some light regarding chainer or bootstrapper? What will
these features do?

Thanks,

No, because you can't run multiple installations simultaneously, so it's 
not possible from within a custom action. You need to provide a 
standalone .exe chainer/bootstrapper to handle it.

[WiX-users] How to automate download and install feature in WIX?

2007-08-01 Thread Naresh Krishna Kumar K

Hi,

I have written a Custom Action DLL using Visual C++. MSI will take the user
to the download page of the software if the particular software is not
installed in the user machine while installing the MSI. Is it possible to
download and install the particular software in microsoft download center
without user intervention using WIX (Custom Action). If yes, kindly guide me
how to go about this feature.

Thanks,
Naresh Krishna Kumar. K
