Hello Rob,
If burn does not use Windows Installer Multiple Package transaction support,
how does it install multiple MSIs?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Anton

Hi All,
In our project we are having 200+ plus files (dlls,ocx) in different
directories. I am planning to use heat.exe to get this script generated
manually, is there any limitations or any particular thing needs to be taken
care while doing this.
Thanks in advance.

It looks OK. Make sure the file
E:\Websites\SCBUDirect\Website\SCBUDirect.B2CWeb\App_Config\basic.log4net.dev
exists on the machine that you install on.
The next step would be to generate and examine a verbose log.

I would create a core MSI with no custom components that you maintain and
create patches for. You would then give your customers a template that shows
them how to make an add-on MSI that targets your installed application.
They would then need to make a bundle to chain the two installations.
Hi Peter thanks for the reply.
The file basic.log4net.dev does come with Installer MSi package, and after
package installation on destination folder the file name need to be changed
to basic.log4net.
I assume you understand my requirement; the path I have provided is the
destination folder path

No. I recommend thinking the other way around. The bundle is what gets
registered, the MSIs are just implementation details that are never seen.

Has anyone noticed that burn doesn't show the correct translation on some

whether the Sublanguage is not the default e.g. fr-ca,
It all depends on what is in your Fragments and what is referencing what.
My guess is by moving the Shortcut, you removed the reference to oen or
more Fragments in you .wixlib.
