I am using Wix 3.6 RC0 release. Created a bootstrapper application with one MSI embedded. I did not give the bootstrapper a name so it will not show up in the ARP list. The embedded MSI has a name and an entry in the control panel. When I manually uninstall the MSI itself, and then run the bootstrapper Setup.exe again. The bootstrapper thinks it is already installed and prompted me a Modify/Remove dialog. I have to uninstall the bootstrapper. This means the bootstrapper resides in the registry somehow and still recognized. Is there a way to make a real silent bootstrapper that just get the main software installed without leaving any trace.
Otherwise, it can be confusing to the end user. I could however show an ARP for the bootstrapper itself and hide the MSI package from the ARP list. However, the bootstrapper does not have any functionality. In addition, when I tried to uninstall the bootstrapper in this case, the embedded MSI package is not uninstalled (maybe this is a seperate issue) this time. So this combination is not ideal. Can this issue be solved elegantly with this Wix release? Zhichao Hong, CSDP [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
