I'm working on a C# Managed Bootstrapper Application. I don't quite understand how my bundle is identified as already-installed or not.
Examples I have read simply check the installed state (PackageState) of one of the MSI packages - for example, http://bryanpjohnston.com/2012/09/28/custom-wix-managed-bootstrapper-application/ This is then used as the install state of the bundle. I have two problems with this: 1 It isn't correct, is it? What if a user has PackageA.msi installed, but not through my bundle, and my MBA tests for PackageA.msi - this logic will identify that the Bundle is installed when it isn't. 2 The WiX help says there is a property: WixBundleInstalled - gets whether the bundle was already installed and will be set to 1 once the bundle is installed. So my question is: Why use the MSI package install state rather than "WixBundleInstalled"? (Testing indicates that this property is not in fact set for installed bundles. So is the answer "because WixBundleInstalled doesn't work properly"?) Thanks!
