Re: [WiX-users] Can Wix Boostrapper project be a VS Startup project?
This is an area to improve for debugging Bootstrapper Applications. The error code will help but hard sometimes to figure out all the different things that can go wrong in a managed BA. I often drop down to do devenv.com /debugexe path\to\bundle.exe and then start debugging through the Burn code using the pdbs.zip and sources.zip files. Brute force, but very, very effective.

Re: [WiX-users] Can Wix Boostrapper project be a VS Startup project?
Unzip the pdbs.zip and the sources.zip somewhere. Then when VS says it
can't find symbols for your Setup.exe, point to the place where you
extracted the .pdbs, and when VS says it wants a source file point it to
where the sources.zip was extracted.
