Re: [WiX-users] Trouble implementing a
Hey, Simon. I had the same problems when first try to write BA on managed code. Rob Mensching suggested me to see sources of Wix 3.6 installer itself. wix36-sources\src\Setup\Bundle - location of Wix bootstrapper project wix36-sources\src\Setup\UX - location of BoostrapperApplication project. It uses WPF btw. What you should pay attention to is (assumed your dll is named as 'MyBA.dll'): 1) Bundle.wxs: BootstrapperApplicationRef Id='ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost' Payload Name='BootstrapperCore.config' SourceFile='(Path_to_config_file)\MyBA.BootstrapperCore.config' / Payload SourceFile='(Path_to_your_dll)\MyBA.dll' / /BootstrapperApplicationRef 2) add MyBA.BootstrapperCore.config (see example wix36-sources\src\Setup\UX\WixUX.BootstrapperCore.config) into your BA project and modify it: ... wix.bootstrapper host assemblyName=MyBA supportedFramework version=v4\Full / supportedFramework version=v4\Client / /host /wix.bootstrapper ... 3) You have already added [assembly: BootstrapperApplication(typeof(TestBA))] into AssemblyInfo.cs Maybe it is better to modify example wix36-sources\src\Setup\UX\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs Should be fine now. -Original Message- Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 14:14:24 -0800 (PST) From: Simon Zinkevicius simon.zinkevic...@hp.com Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Trouble implementing a BootstrapperApplication in C# To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: 1298499264403-6058081.p...@n2.nabble.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I also added the following line the the AssemblyInfo.cs in the bootstrapper Application library but it still will not run.

Re: [WiX-users] Trouble implementing a BootstrapperApplication in C#
And documentation will get better in the future. I have written the documentation yet because I've been trying to simplify the creation more... lots of fiddly little details you have to get connected for it to work.

PS: you don't need supportedRuntime for both /Full and /Client. Full contains Client so you only need to specify the lesser one you need.

[WiX-users] Trouble implementing a BootstrapperApplication in C#
I've written a MSI project using WIX 3.6 and now I want to create my own
bootstrapper. I want to write my own UI using WPF like WixUX so I create a
new C# library project and referenced the BootstrapperCore.dll and created a
class that inherits from BootstrapperApplication. For my test BA all I want
to do is popup a message box to make sure its working.
namespace MyBA
{
public class TestBA: BootstrapperApplication
{
protected override void Run()
{
MessageBox.Show(My BA is running);
this.Engine.Quit(0);
}
}
}
I then created WIX bootstrapper project and updated its Bundle.wxs file to
use my BootstrapperApplication by chaging the BootstrapperApplicationRef tag
to:
BootstrapperApplication SourceFile=c:\Projects\MyBA.dll /
Everything builds just fine but when I run my bootstrapper I dont get my
message box. I'm just wonder what steps I might be missing.
