I have a custom MBA that I have been using and I would now like to make a
lightweight web bootstrapper which will download the packages that need to
be installed. I thought you would get that for free with the underlying
bootstrapper engine by simply specifying the download url in the bundle,
but I guess I was wrong.

I tried subscribing to the ResolveSource event to get a package's download
url and download it to the local source location, but it seems like at that
point it's too late in the process as my installation still fails with an
error "Failed to resolve source for file: <path_to_local_source> " (even
though the download is successful).

I've tried other hacks like getting the WixBundleProviderKey burn variable
and downloading the source to where the bootstrapper would normally unpack
the files, but I haven't had any luck.

Is such functionality available for those who wish to use a custom MBA?
What am I missing? I am using WiX 3.7.

Thanks,

Bryan
