Hello oh great and powerful Rob :) It is a pleasure to get an email from you.
I've been working with a bootstrapper project but I'm curious as to how I can have the chained EXE project inspect the registry AFTER the initial call to my product MSI has completed. I think that my bootstrapper will work like this: 1) Call product MSI with a property that asks all of the questions and copies all files/registry items to disk 2) Conditionally call SQLExpress based on a stored property or registry entry 3) Call repair on my original MSI to have the services started and the db scripts executed -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: Friday, September 06, 2013 12:00 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
