Hi,
Following scenario:
WiX 3.6, build same solution as 2 bundles: one all containing for the web
and another for a CD image.
Now I have the issue that PackageWeb runs even when PackageCD is already
installed. Digging in the mailing list I understood that here some
kind of BundleID
is set at each
Hi,
Can you please how to create the online installation setup?
Is possible to create the online installation by bootstrapper?
If yes, then share any documentation related to web installer creation.
Thanks,
Kannan

Ahh, sorry. Misread the question. Did you set DisplayInternalUI='yes' on
the MsiPackage? If no, then the MSIs are always run silently.

To interject. If you do have two related bundles. The one you are installing
must be a higher version than the one already installed in order for the
installed one to be uninstalled. Is this correct? If both are installed and
at same version then you'd have two entries in ARP?

Yes, I do have the DisplayInternalUI=yes set on the MsiPackage element.
Following is the entire MsiPackage element.

DisplayInternalUI=yes Vital=yes

Not necessarily. Bundles can be related in a few different ways. What you
are describing is an upgrade Related Bundle. In that case, it behaves as
you describe. However, you can use detect Related Bundles and the engine
will send you back the information about all the Bundles that share an

Ok I understand. So if you have a custom BA you can use detect and handle the
removal yourself. Thanks.

Do you want the MYVAR Burn Variable to be saved after the initial install?
If so add Persist='yes' to the Variable definition of MYVAR. Otherwise, it
will be reset every time the Bundle runs.

Ahh, why not use ::MsiProcessMessage() to display the dialog? If you do
that, then the message would be routed all the way through Burn to the BA
and the BA would then get the message and display it correctly based on its
UI level.

But you can write code in your custom BA to do that. That's what I meant.

Yes, true. The engine will call OnRelatedBundleDetected() so your custom BA
can do whatever with the detected Related Bundles.

Hi All,
My company is evaluating two different Windows installer solutions, WiX and
Nullsoft installer (NSIS). I was wondering if anyone has had experience with
both, and could weigh in on the pros and cons, benefits, limitations, etc.
Thanks,

A few months ago, we were in a similar position. Although we didn't delve very
deep into NSIS, I have no regrets whatsoever about choosing WiX. As with any
new technology, there is a learning curve, but there are tutorials and online
posts/resources that do a very good job at teaching the
Last time I looked NSIS hasn't been updated since 2009. I also contemplated
using NSIS.
What attracted me to Wix is that it is based on MSI which (at the time) you
needed to get app Windows certified. And that it is XML based which I knew.
And the bootstrapper, burn, because I needed to
I'm obviously biased but non-declarative installation technologies like
NSIS are a complete non-starter for me. I don't want to write scripts that

files.
I had a couple consulting gigs to convert setups from NSIS. It amazed
The Command structure passed to your BA will tell you if the Bundle is

original Apply() and they will be there after restart.
