[WiX-users] ApplicationRequiresElevation type of functionality with Wix 3.6 and Burn

2012-09-11 Thread Erkan Celme
We're upgrading from WiX 3.5 to 3.6 and we're replacing our bootstrapper with the new 3.6 bootstrappers so we have a single exe instead of an exe and a msi. I tried to get rid of the standard UI that a bootstrapper installer displays but found out that you'd need to write your own custom BA to

You can use Burn's /quiet switch to disable the UI, without writing a custom BA. The per-machine MSI's within a Burn bootstrapper will cause a prompt for elevation when it's first required. This approach follows Windows guidelines better than elevating at the start, which is what

The second half of log has lots of errors in it because you killed the parent process. The log message will not have those error messages if you call Engine.Quit(). I don't know why you are hanging. Check to see if your code is trapped in a callback. If not, check the callstack to see where the

[WiX-users] Wix 3.6 burn and restart manager

2012-09-11 Thread Wesley Manning
Hi, Have questions about restart manager in vista and above and how it works with burn wixstaba. (1) Does burn use restart manager or something else to close open app when it is left open on major upgrade? (2) I did a test where I have two versions of my burn installer, 1.4.2 and 1.5.1.
