sounds great, thank you. I didn't even know about this way to handle shortcuts.
I'll give it a try and let you know if it helped.

Hello Huifei Rao,
If you copy files to another directory prior to harvesting you can use xcopy or
robocopy options to exclude files or directories when copying files over. For
example, xcopy has a /exclude:file1 option where you put a list of strings in
file1 (separated by newlines) and it

advertised shortcuts).

This was a bug. New solution will be to mark the Bundle DisableModify and

Thanks for your answer. Do you have a short example, how I can access
this from within my managed bootstrapper.
Maybe you have also a hint for me how I can get an Embedded Eula.rtf,
which is defined as content in my bundle authoring.

Unfortunately not :(. If it can help, I am trying on a Virtual machine on
Windows 7 (both host and VM).
I thought it could come from integration components since Bob Arnson directed
me to a SSO issue. So I tried without activating them on the VM, with no luck.

PS: This is not a WiX limitation. It's a NETFX limitation. Paths

The BootstrapperApplicationData.xml file gets extracted to the same directory

I'm making a managed bootstrapper with .NET 3.5 and everything is working

Wrong person to ask really, I was just giving my opinion. I raised some issues
