It's time for me to step on the Burn noob school bus. :-) So I have the following file named MyBundle.wxs:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?> <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi' xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> <Bundle UpgradeCode="MY-GUID" Version="1.0.0"> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" /> <WixVariable Id="WixStdbaLicenseRtf" Value="License.rtf" /> <Chain> <PackageGroupRef Id="pkgJRE7"> <MsiPackage Id="pkgMyMSI" DisplayName="My MSI" Cache="no" Compressed="yes" Permanent="yes" SourceFile="MyMSIProductPackage.msi" Visible="yes" Vital="yes" ></MsiPackage> </Chain> </Bundle> </Wix> The file containing the Package "pkgJRE7" and MyMSIProductPackage.msi are in the same folder as MyBundle.wxs. When I run "burn.exe MyBundle.wxs", nothing happens. No error, no new files, nothing. I followed the examples here (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/authoring_bundle_intro.htm) as closely as I could, but clearly I'm doin' it wrong. For example, how does burn know where to find pkgJRE7? The second example here (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/bundle_author_chain.htm) doesn't have a reference to a file where MyPackage is located, so...I'm guessing it somehow magically finds it? Another thing I find confusing is the burn.exe is located in a separate (sub)folder "x86" from all the other WiX tools. I'm not sure if that's normal or not (i.e. it makes me wonder if it's the right program), but it seems strange to me. Anyway, any help at all would be appreciated, and thanks to everyone who provided advice to get this far.
