1) Remove the CA from your MSI. 2) Create a bundle including DX9 and your MSI in the chain.
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/bundle/ http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/bundle/wixstdba/ WixStdBA comes with the toolset, and you can use it for basic installs, but if you need to customize the user experience a lot, you may have to write your own BA. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Finkiewicz [mailto:p...@mvsengineering.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2014 4:04 PM To: 'General discussion about the WiX toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installing DirectX9 Components within a perUser MSI Yes, DirectX9 is a prerequisite to my app. I suppose I'm down to 1 option other than having end users installing DirectX9 themselves. How do I go about changing my code to include your "burn" option?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installing DirectX9 Components within a perUser MSI You won't be able to force a 3rd party installer to change scope very easily, especially in the case of an EXE based installation (nor would I recommend doing so). What exactly are you trying to do? If DirectX is a prerequisite to your software, use burn to install it in the chain before your MSI. If your simply trying to wrap the DX setup in a MSI (maybe for legacy AD deployment??) then you're "on your own" as far as MS supporting it. Concurrent installs are bad.
