All,
I have what appears to be a simple chained install using burn, where I would
like to do a RegistrySearch to read a key created by the first msi, and use
that to install the second msi to a subfolder of that location. The first
S3DInstallation.msi has its’ own GUI which is run and selects the install
location, so I have to execute the RegistrySearch AFTER the first msi has
installed. I have attempted several different iterations of the Child.wxs, but
I never get the S3DINSTALLPATH property set so that it can be used inside the
PackageGroup. For testing, I commented out the first msi and manually created
the registry keys, even before starting the installer. Nothing seems to be
getting populated in the S3DINSTALLPATH property! What am I missing?!?!?
Any help is appreciated.
Bundle.wxs:
<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="UTF-8"?>
