5100 is General setup block, commonly we see it for a missing
prerequisite (

The problem is that at some point it re-maps the exit code to a HRESULT,
which gives a nonsensical error:
Any hint?

I've installed an MSI using a Bundle, and then installed an MSP..
The MSP is not visible in 'View installed updates' (!)
I presume this is because the MSI is installed with ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1
This is not good news
Is there a fix/workaround?
Thanks,

A patch application is just a repair with all relevant patch transformations

Check if your MSI repairs correctly.
Do you persist SERVICEACCOUNT and SERVICEPASSWORD?

I don't think so, this is why we don't hide our msi entries, in case someone
wants to uninstall a patch.
It would be nice if there were a way to show updates but hide the msi.

Yes, patch bundle is an option but if it's just installing one MSP, a EXE

I think if you delete the key it and its updates would not be visible in ARP.

Indeed, if I rename :

neither the MSI or the MSP are visible in ARP (!)
This is a real problem...
Anyone, any input?

Personally I would write a patch bundle, the reason I don't do it already is
it would involve customizing our chainer and I want to move to burn so it
would be wasted effort.
The bundle arp entry and the individual msi entries are slightly confusing to
the end user but we just named the bundle
Having spent the morning playing around with this, I would agree that patch
bundles are probably the best solution...
It would be nice if a purely patch bundle showed up in 'View installed
updates' ...

What do you mean by repairs correctly? The patch log shows errors, so I
assumed that means it didn't repair correctly?
I don't store the values of SERVICEACCOUNT or SERVICEPASSWORD, but they are
provided via command-line parameters. However, I just noticed from the log
these lines:

If you install your program on a test machine then run a repair from ARP or
the command line does it fail with the same error?
If you have not persisted these settings then they will be undefined or set
to whatever default you specified during a repair or patch, unless you only

That is the challenge I am trying to understand.
The setup which creates the web site could write URL information to a file

the user might download the two files or something along that line, and the

With a native BA, the entire engine is at your mercy. From a quick look, I

It's the ignoring part that is the issue, that's David's point. Properties
will not be propagated from the UI sequence (and command lines) unless they
are marked secure. Internally that's here in the MSI file:

You can make a patch bundle show up in View install updates. I think it's
the Update element child of Bundle that does that. Also, Burn does a lot of
stuff to ensure the MSP is applied correctly to all products it targets.
Just double clicking on an MSP doesn't guarantee the same.
Basically, I
XxxPackage/@DownloadUrl just sets the default. BA can change the download
URL via a call to Engine.SetDownloadSource(). You can even leave the
default DownloadUrl blank and only have the BA provide it.
As others pointed out, the hard part is getting the executable to know what
the base URL should
The wixstdba doesn't provide such a mechanism today. You could write a
custom BA to do it, or work with wix-devs to enhance the wixstdba to handle
the scenario.

After much reading, I am trying to use bundle the wrong way.
By design the bundle is the unified user interface to the stuff
installed.
Instead I will simply let the bundle appear in Programs and Features,
and hide everything that will be uninsulated by the bundle.
Some 3rd party ExePackages
Is there a way to prevent a bundle from being installed multiple times?
I see many entries in Programs and Features.
My bundle wxs:

Too bad the ExePackages won't uninstall cleanly. DetectConditions are still

Did you remember those properties? Remember, patching is really just a
