Unless you have addons or patches or raw detection RelatedBundle elements
you can be sure that's it. It is too bad we didn't pass the relation type
to that callback. I think that's something we can add in WiX v3.7. The
relation type would make it crystal clear.

Possibly, but BOOTSTRAPPER_RELATED_OPERATION_NONE is the default in this
function so it can mean other things.

File in use comes back from the Windows installer. If the Windows installer
(and it uses Restart Manager quite a bit for this) recognizes the file in
use, you should get that callback. I'm not sure they'll recognize a text
file held in use by a program.
Try running your program and then installin
Right so the operation for a related bundle upgrade with the same version
is: BOOTSTRAPPER_RELATED_OPERATION_NONE.

Hi!:

It appears in some of the newer releases of WiX that you can download an

I have been attempting to make simple changes to the theme of my burn

that I can't seem to find simple answers to.
First, if the user cancels the install from my bootstrap, it shows that the

I wouldn't recommend circumventing Windows Installer practices just because you
refuse to do things the correct way.

Thanks, that does help. If I could just ask the question slightly differently:

changed WiX source under MS-RL and make it freely available.

If the new version is backwardly compatible with the old version, then the
component hasn't really changed (in MSI terms) and the guid stays the same.
If the new version breaks compatibility, then it's really a new component and
should have a new guid (and new filename or location).

If I understand correctly you are trying to copy files at install time from the

Hi,
Majorly stuck on this issue. I have a INI and REG file stored in the same
location as my MSI file which is TARGETDIR as far as I am aware. I have to
copy these files to C:\TEMP at the start of the install, I know WIX can use
INI and REG files but this is a requirement that I have to meet.
LocalAppDataFolder is perfectly acceptable. The ICE38 error is telling you that
you need to change the KeyPath for your components to be compliant with Windows
Installer expected behaviour.
It sounds to me like you've written a per-machine package & are trying to turn
it into a per-user package
This is my own, admittedly inexpert, understanding of per-user installations:
Installing to subdirectory of LocalAppDataFolder is perfectly OK in a
per-user MSI. Because of certain scenarios relating to roaming users, you
need to add components containing elements for any
directories you create u

Hello folks,
is it possible to create a wixlib that holds a theme file and a localization

I have to build two different burn-bundles, one for a server installation
