I figured out why we are having to use MSINEWINSTANCE=1 to install. Which is killing us on Uninstall and repair etc.... WIX InstanceTransforms. Microsoft doesn't think this should be required to install. But I cannot install one transform without it. And then in wix I cannot uninstall or repair if I use the MSINEWINSTANCE setting in my bootstrapper.
So the idea is to install our msi passing in the application information needed to register the objects for the application that is using our msi. But currently we have InstanceTransform table defined. Can you create a multitransform msi with using InstanceTransforms? If I remove the InstanceTransform table will this do the trick? One of the requirements is mulitple applications that would use our msi should be able to install on one machine. Will not having the instance transform table cause an issue? (I am thinking yes.) Since I am new to Wix/Installer, I am wondering how that is done? The Instance element requires ProductCode. I don't want to supply a product code...I want the application using our msi to handle it's product code, I am hoping that there is some means that the application bootstrapper can own the msi in some way. In Wix, I see there is a InstanceTransform and I don't want to redefine that productcode. I am told by Microsoft that it is possible to have multitransform msi that does not change the productcode. Well, anyone have any ideas I would love it. ----- - jon -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Creating-MultiTransform-msi-using-wix-tp7584138.html Sent from the wix-devs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
