Hi,
I created registry entries.For that Registry entries I need to edit System IP
address.
For that I want write an Custom Action\XML to read the system IP address and
System Name.
How to automate
Thanks,

Nothing built in to do that today. I'd probably try to get all the strings
extracted into a .wxl file that could be used with the
BootstrapperApplication as well as the .MSIs.

I'm guessing this is due to changes in VS2012 loading builds out of proc to
easy memory pressure. I'd say you were getting lucky before. If you have a
dependency, you should keep it near you.
Also, the WiX toolset isn't designed to be installed in the GAC so I would
not recommend that route. We
There is a part in the verbose log file that shows you the state of all the
components being installed. Above that you should see messages from the
Windows Installer about why it chooses not to install a particular
Component if it isn't clear (i.e. a Feature is turned off).

Take a look at the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml provided to your custom
BA for all the information provided by the system for your Features (and
other things). That's all that is available today.
Instead of using Features, you might consider using separate MSI packages.
I find using MSIs to be
Completely reasonable way to use a Bundle to deliver a language pack.
Simple add a RelatedBundle element, use an identifier in the main Bundle
(I like to add a RelatedBundle with Action='detect' specifically for this
purpose) and set the Action='addon'.

Hi,
Sorry to interject.
Can you clarify what is required in the addon bundle and the main bundle? I
was only putting a relatedbundle element in my addon bundle with action=addon
and id equal to updatecode GUID of my main bundle. I was adding nothing in my
main bundle.
I did see some issues
The Bundle UpgradeCode will work fine but custom BA code will have to work
harder to tell what is add-on and what is an upgrade. I make my life easier
by using a Detect RelatedBundle to isolate the sharing.
Not sure what issues you were seeing. Ref counting should have kept
your addons on the

Hi
I want to change content of the Config file by detecting the Server on which
the file or MSI package is installed to.Below is the component of the
config file.

I want to do something similar as well, but from what I've found, file I/O
through WiX is generally not possible (aside from
creating a custom action running an external program that does the file I/O).
Hopefully a simpler solution exists?

There are plenty of XML Transforms included as supported out of the box in Wix.
Add a reference to the util extensions, and have a look at the util:XmlFile
element.

Use XmlFile or XmlConfig (still custom actions but you don't have to write

I don't know about Burn, but there are certainly enough APIs to open a

descriptions and titles. You don't need the session object. Basically you

I am using WixStdBa. I should try you're way and see if the issues go away.
The issues I was seeing I opened bug 3168. An upgrade would often remove the
addons. No problems with the upgrade. Usually it occurs only if I install the
addons before the main bundle and then upgrade the

Yeah, I could see that bug being true. Not supposed to be a problem but I
do not expect there is a test case for that scenario. It'd be cool if you
wanted to pop open our test code and add a case for the failing scenario.
Would go a long way to getting the bug fix started.
On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at
Yeah, totally. That'll just be challenging to do in the build process when
the Bundle is created... but could definitely do it before hand and pump
the data into the system like I was suggesting... or something completely
different. smile/

This is something that I am interested in as well.

Hi,
I am building a bootstrapper based on the managed BA (I am using a customized
WPF UI), but met with the following issue.
My BA.exe refers to an MsiPackage, which contains two features (WebService and
AdminTool).
If everything is not installed, if user selects AdminTool, the BA will call

The ADDLOCAL property and friends won't give you the control necessary to
