Re: [WiX-users] Bundle fails on WIN2K machine .exe is not a valid Win32 application

That's just stopped me in my tracks. I've been converting our dotnetinstaller bootstrapper to use Burn but had no idea that would kill our Win2k support. Seriously not good. Is there a way round this? Can I easily compile the bootstrapper application myself with VS 2005? Thanks, Alex On 28

[WiX-users] Bootstapper hangs

I'm trying to create a custom no-UI bootstrap application by subclassing CBalBaseBootstrapperApplication. It gets as far as my OnStartup method but then hangs. According to the debugger it's waiting on NtReadFile but I'm not sure how reliable that is. This is the (very short) log file I get:

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstapper hangs

Also, the boostrapper .exe seems to spawn another instance of itself and it is that instance that is waiting on NtReadFile. Why would it do this? On 28 April 2012 21:07, Alexander Lamaison sw...@lammy.co.uk wrote: I'm trying to create a custom no-UI bootstrap application by subclassing

Thanks for the info Bob - but what determines whether a localized string is formatted or not? I just tried $(sys.CURRENTDIR) and that is not evaluated either! Is there any way to get outside information into localization files? I cannot have any language-independent static parts otherwise, which

It sounds like my best option is to simply compile my installers using VS 2008. Is there any reason not to take that approach? Rich - Rich Dingle Accelitec, Inc. -- View this message in context:
