I am using the Bootstrap Manifest Generator to build a bootstrapper which will search for and install third-party prerequisites on the target machine (Flash, Acrobat, etc).
Since BMG-- and most other bootstrapper builders I have encountered-- leave the bare MSI exposed in the same location as the setup.exe bootstrapper, this means there is a possibility that an end user would execute the MSI directly rather than use the bootstrapper. So in addition to creating the appropriate registry/file/folder searches in BMG, the equivalent searches must be authored as <Condition> elements in WiX, so that the installation aborts if a user attempts to install the MSI without first installing the prerequisites. Is this logic correct? I.e. must AppSearch be duplicated in both the bootstrapper and the MSI? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/LaunchConditions-%2B-Bootstrapper-tp2623074p2623074.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
