then go back to 95 and work their way back up to 100.

As far as I know a custom BA is responsible for displaying help if
passed "/?" - it's not handled by Burn. Standard parameters like
/passive, /quiet etc. are handled and your BA doesn't see those in the
array of co
DK include and lib paths in any
projects, since they've been changed from including the architecture in
the filename to having them under a directory structure e.g.

The custom action won't work since you can't install a .msi file from

From the code it looks like you just create a Variable named

One thing to watch out for is that the version of the CRT you can download

You might want to use WcaSetProperty (and the other Wca* functions)
instead since they're a bit simple

with:
WcaSetProperty(L"ProductName", szLocalPath);
It just uses the handle stored in the WcaInitialize call.

I can't find the post now, but the same question was asked a few months
ago and I seem to remember the answer being that you can't get a link to
the installer due
of Windows Installer. Burn isn't ideal either since it requires people
to write code (C++ or .NET) for the UI and install callbacks and so adds
potential for bugs.
