Subject: Re: [WiX-users] SQL Server 2008 Bootstrapper Great question, Arun. I can imagine a few possibilities, not the least of which is the size and complexity of installations of SQL Server SKUs north of Express, but I don't have intimate knowledge of the decision points. I believe that the VS team owns the bootstrappers, so let them know what you'd like to see in the future: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio -----Original Message----- From: Arun Perregatturv [mailto:aperregatt...@napcosecurity.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 05:52 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] SQL Server 2008 Bootstrapper Thank you. That's exactly what I am trying to do now. I created a Virtual PC for XP installed VS 2008 Express SP1(what a pain). Copied the packages folder from there to my development PC and deleted the Virtual PC. Why can't Microsoft make those packages available for downloads for non-Express editions..
