Are default arguments forbidden in COM interfaces as used in Burn?
(Answer: Well, doing so doesn't break the build...Whether they violate
an unchecked rule is something my bing-fu cannot answer.) A
default-argument crutch in v3.x (removed in v4.0) would be tolerable.
I'd also be OK with implementing this as a new method on
IBootstrapperEngine as long as we immediately deprecate it so it can be
clean again in v4.0.

overload in this case?

I guess 4.0 then. It doesn't make sense to me to add a new function
that will do the exact same thing.
Is there any plans for dropping C support so you can do modern things
like overload a function? :) (or I guess it's <smile/> in this group?)
Maybe add a SetDetectWindow(HWnd) for 3.x?

I should have been explicit, all current users of Burn will be broken
when they upgrade from WiX v3.8 (or less) to WiX v3.9. We don't do
that in dot releases. I think the change is fine, but to do so would
require taking it in WiX v4 (where breaking changes are expected).

Since Apply already requires an HWnd, I actually don't think it's a
big deal to change Detect to require one, too.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Self update bundles, the detect issue.
From this pull request:
https://wix.codeplex.com/SourceControl/network/forks/jchoover/Wix/contribution/5911
I'm looking for more input on the issue surround the
IBootstrapperEngine::Detect() signature changing. I see a couple ways
around this:
1.Move the pull request to WiX v4.0 where we can "break" (in this
case: enhance) the Detect API as we see fit.
2.Add another method to the IBootstrapperEngine called
"DetectWIthUpdates()" or something (Jacob already proposed something
like "Detect2()" which is not high on my list of good names <smile/>).
Personally, I'm leaning towards option #1. Option #2 isn't completely
horrible but there are already ways to skip update detection (if it is
slow, for example) and adding a top level method seems overkill.
Comments? Suggestions?
