If the MSI engine is what's performing the actual transform, and all that the bootstrapper is doing is requesting the operation, does the main issue in implementing the feature really just come down to component detection? I assumed you'd need to be able to detect each possible transform? The MSI engine knows whether a given transform is installed, but is that API exposed?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Multiple Instances and Burn Correct. No one has contributed support for instance transforms yet. It's a non-trivial feature request. <smile/> -----Original Message----- From: Lynn Crumbling [mailto:lcrumbl...@kioware.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 6, 2013 1:42 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Multiple Instances and Burn I've read a lot of threads, all of which seem to burn not yet having support for Instance Transforms. This is a bit of a bummer, as I've already authored the MSI with the transforms, and just need a bootstrapper for [.net, sql ce, target iis website selection (install only), instance selection (removal only)]. As a starting point for this thread, am I correct about the lack of support in burn? If so, I'm going to go the route of using burn purely for the purposes of a UI for manually launching a command line composed of msiexec with a bunch of parameters, unless someone can suggest another approach. - Lynn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
