Bootstrapper is a Windows SDK feature, not a WiX feature. Look at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages on your hard drive.
If you have VS2008 SP1, there should be a directory named "DotNetFX35SP1". Open "product.xml" in the directory, and you will see: ProductCode="Microsoft.Net.Framework.3.5.SP1" Use this string instead, and you're done. You should also see directories like "vcredist_x86" or "vcredist_x64". They're for the VC runtime. There're some documents in MSDN for how to write your own product.xml for the bootstrapper. It wasn't very verbose as I saw last time, but it should help you to write your own packages if you need to run other setup packages before your MSI runs. Hope this helps. 2009/5/28 <rahul.ekb...@sungard.com>: > Hi, > http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_dotnet.htm. > This is for .NET framework 3.5 and not for .NET framework 3.5 SP1. > Is there anything for .NET framework 3.5 SP1. > Is there any difference between running .msi and .exe > Can I run any other .msi or .exe installation file from our installation? > > Thanks, > Rahul. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Koji Ishii [mailto:kojii...@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 3:36 PM > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] VC++ redistributable > > Using the bootstrapper worked for me. > > http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_dotnet.htm > > I use bootstrapper to install VC++ redistributable as well. > > Note that, even though I mentioned to run setup.exe rather than msi in > my document, a lot of users tried to install by double-clicking msi.
