In OnPlanPackageBegin, the value of the State is already set to "Present" when the event is invoked. So the question is, what value do I change it to in order to have the MSI run and for the MSI's UI to be displayed? I tried setting the State to RequestState.Repair, and while this did run the MSI, the MSI's UI did not display. This made sense to me because if I install the MSI directly and run repair from ARP, the MSI's UI does not display.
So the question is, what State value do I set in OnPlanPackageBegin to run the previously installed MSI and for the MSI's UI to display? Again, note that if I install the .msi directly, I am able to display the MSI's UI from the ARP via the change button. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 12:07 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to modify MSI from the custom bootstrapper If you want to force a package to run during modify, change the requested state in OnPlanPackageBegin(). The default will be a no-op.
