Hi All,
I am able to prepare bootsrapper for windows installer and framework
3.5SP1. It is working fine for XP but not in server 2003, it is failing
due to windows installer already installed in server 2003. There should
be condition on installer its self not to install windows installer on
server 2003. It mean bootstrapper should be smart enough to detect OS
and based on OS detected it should behavior. Not getting appropriate
solution for OS depended Bootsrapper. Find following code, I have
written in project file.
<ItemGroup>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Net.Framework.3.5">
<ProductName>.NET Framework 3.5</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Windows.Installer.3.1">
<ProductName>Windows Installer 3.1</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<EmbeddedResource Include="LocalizationStrings.wxl" />
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="Bootstrapper" Inputs="$(OutDir)$(TargetFileName)"
Outputs="$(OutDir)\Setup.exe" Condition=" '$(OutputType)'=='package' ">
<GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile="$(TargetFileName)"
ApplicationName="Streamline Installer"
BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)" ComponentsLocation="Relative"
CopyComponents="True" OutputPath="$(OutputPath)" Path="C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\" />
</Target>
<Import
Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.0\Wix.targets" />
<PropertyGroup>
<BuildDependsOn>$(BuildDependsOn);Bootstrapper</BuildDependsOn>
</PropertyGroup>
Let me know if anybody have any solution on it.

Jagdish Sakhiya
