Is it possible to have a bootstrapper made with burn that doesn't show any UI?
All I want my bootstrapper to do is decide what platform it's running
on (x86 or x64), extract the appropriate MSI installer from within
itself and run it. At the moment, the Burn UI takes over. Is there a
no-UI
I've validated my MSM in Orca. At first, I got a lot of ICE33 warnings
because of some COM registration logic. To rule out that this was
causing my problems, I removed this registration logic and validated the
MSM again. Now the validation completes, but ends with:
Execution ERROR There is
Looks like you need to write your own BA:

Several action don't seem to be intended to be found in MSMs. Maybe
AppSearch is one of them.
Do you distribute your MSM publically? If not, I've got a couple of ideas.
1) Run a couple of SQL queries against the MSM to remove them from the two
Module*Sequence tables. 2) Change from using MSMs

The WixStdBA supports the /silent switch for no-UI installations.

You can do it in native or managed code.
Take a look at the burn solution file in the source (src\burn\burn.sln). You
can see both the wixstdba (native) and WixBA (managed) projects for
examples. I haven't come across any tutorials or anything like that though.

Fortunately you can use C++. I certainly don't like the idea of
Even with a managed bootstrapper you don't need .NET installed
initially if I remember correctly.

That's right - Burn will bootstrap .NET first. But I just don't like the
idea of requiring extra software to be installed just for the installer.

It seems I can't reproduce it anymore.

My burn bootstrapper/bundle/thingiemagig is just a wrapper around my
MSI installer; it chooses between an x86 and an x64 version but will
only ever install one. So I just want one entry for my program in
Add/Remove programs.
I seem to have achieved this by removing the Name attribute from the
Put the following line in your Package:
Property Id=ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT Value=1 /
It will tell MSI not to include it in Add/Remove Programs.

This behaviour is not stable. When I removed everything and repeated
test again - file patched. This makes me frightened that on some
clients' machines patch will work ok, but on some will fail. It is the
worst variant, when I can not reproduce bug on my PC.
