Sorry,


Hate to say I am not a WIX expert, the code I sent works for us, only changed 
things to omit any sensitive data.

We are using Wix3.6(which is beta), so make sure you are using that. Also we 
are using Visual Studio 2010 to build the final executable (installer).

So below is what I would start with given what you have supplied, the only thing I am 
not 100% sure on is the c:\<path>\License.rtf, not sure if that is unique to us 
or needed by Wix. Another developer (who has moved on) coded this up originally so 
again it works for us.  I got rid of the other stuff that I know you do not need.

Below should install the two packages in order and force a reboot after the 
second package is installed.

How to do check boxes and all, beyond my WIX expertise.

Hope this helps (guarantee no success over use of this code).
Joe

We were able to do this with the following.

The issue we ran into (that I posted a while back to the forums and never seen an answer 
to) is that though anyone can uninstall the individual pieces only the person who 
installed the "bundler" can uninstall it. And because the bundler requires all 
the pieces to be uninstalled, if anyone uninstalls one of them, it corrupts the bundler 
uninstall.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Bind .msi file in .msi file

Hello Everybody,

Actually I want to know that "can I bind a .msi file in another .msi file?" If 
yes then please help me to do this as I am new on WIX, I don't have much idea about this. 
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Joe,

Actually I was getting an error while implementing that code sent by You. The error is "The
element in 'Wix' namespace"http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; has invalid child
element 'Bunlde' ". So can You please tell me the solution of this error.
Suppose I have to bind two msi file named "test_dlg.msi" and setup.msi .
The path of both the files are C:\test_dlg and C:\setup.msi . So Please send me
a code which bind both the files.
One more thing I want to Launch this msi file with checkbox. Suppose I check
any checkbox, it should install setup.msi . Please tell me how to implement
this also.

Hello Joe,

When I upgraded my Wix version 3.5 to 3.6, the error "The element in'Wix' namespace "http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi<http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi>" has invalid child element'Bunlde' " is removed.

But some another error are coming again:First one is Error 2Unresolved reference to symbol'WixBootstrapperApplication:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense'in section 'Bundle'

and second one is Error 3 Unresolved reference to symbol'ChainPackageGroup:Bundle.Generated.Packages' in section 'Bundle'.

I am searching about this from last couple of hours but haven't foundthe solution. Do you have any idea about these error.

I have implemented the same code sent by you but it's also throwingthe same error. I am using Wix 3.6 and Visual Studio 2010.
