I already posted a related problem here:
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Managed-BA-command-line-not-effective-td7592884.html
and
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21989084/wix-managed-ba-command-line-not-effective,
which is about command line passed during upgrade.
Now I tried to explore, how it interpret the command line. Here is my run
method to do so:
protected override void Run()
{
string cmdOptions = string.Empty;
this.Engine.Log(LogLevel.Verbose, "Launching custom TestBA UX");
foreach (string cmdOpt in this.Command.GetCommandLineArgs())
{
cmdOptions += cmdOpt + "\n"; //collecting command line options
passed.
}
Debug.WriteLine("Command.Display: {0} Command.Action: {1}",
this.Command.Display.ToString(), this.Command.Action.ToString());
Environment.Exit(1);
}
I understand that Wixdba would digest its own command line options and would
pass extra to our Managed Bootstrapper Application. From above mentioned
post, this line from log:
[1A44:1E54][2014-02-24T17:47:22]i301: Applying execute package:
{f1d57671-5e3d-4be7-908f-5a47e72737d9}, action: Uninstall, path:
C:\ProgramData\Package
Cache\{f1d57671-5e3d-4be7-908f-5a47e72737d9}\BootstrapperSetup.exe,
arguments: '"C:\ProgramData\Package
Cache\{f1d57671-5e3d-4be7-908f-5a47e72737d9}\BootstrapperSetup.exe"
-uninstall -quiet -burn.related.upgrade'
shows that it is passing -uninstall and -quiet to BootstrapperSetup.exe
which is in cache i.e. already installed there.
Here are the results of command line options passed to Bootstrapper:
/C:\bin\Debug>BootstrapperSetup.exe -quite -uninstall/
*Command.Display: Full, Command.Action: Uninstall *
/C:\bin\Debug>>BootstrapperSetup.exe -q -uninstall/
*Command.Display: None Command.Action: Uninstall*
/C:\bin\Debug>>BootstrapperSetup.exe -q -u/
*Command.Display: None Command.Action: Install*
*Summary:* From above test, it seems that
1. -quite is not effective, while -q does.
2. -u is not effective, while -Uninstall does.
Although, after knowing this, I can parse for -quite and -u in my Managed
Bootstrapper, but I would like to know, *If it is a Bug or I'm doing
something wrong here*.
Best regards
