Hi Folks,
I am generating a Burn package with multiple MSI's.
These MSI's are organized in 3 package groups, say group A, B, and C.
I want the user to be able to choose from the bootstrapper GUI which package
groups should be installed.
Therefore I extended the options page with 3 checkboxes, and linked them to
Variables.
Since the "PackageGroup" and "PackageGroupRef" elements don't have an
"InstallCondition", attribute, I try to handle this separately for each
"MsiPackage".
However, the way the "InstallCondition" attribute is handled, is not how I
would expect.
The documentation and my test code show that if the "InstallCondition"
evaluates to "false", it causes the package to be uninstalled if it was already
installed.
What I would prefer is that the package that is already installed will be left
untouched.
I have the following suggestions, and would like to know if this is feasible:
- Beside the "InstallCondition" attribute, include a
"UninstallCondition" attribute, to optionally specify explicitly when a package
should be uninstalled.
- Also include "InstallCondition" and "UninstallCondition" attributes
at "PackageGroup" level.
All child packages can inherit these attributes.
- Also include an "After" attribute at "PackageGroup" level, and also
support "PackageGroup" names in the "After" attribute of package elements.
This makes it easier to define groups of order-independent packages, and
control the order in which these order-dependent groups are installed.
Kind regards,
