A bootstrapper is just a list of install packages that are installed one after the other. So, if you had three install packages in the bootstrapper, you wouldn't have one install directory, you would have three. For example, if you bootstrapped SQL Server, the .NET framework and then your application, they'll each go into their own install folder somewhere on the machine.
If you want to find out where one of them went, you'll need to have that particular installer save that information somewhere so that your bootstrapper can find it. Like if you wanted to display your application's install path to the user after everything has been installed, you could have had the MSI write it to the registry and the bootstrapper (maybe it's written in C#) can then read the registry to get it back. You would need to detect when that package has been installed...or just wait until they've all been installed, so that you know the registry has been written to. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-find-out-the-installlocation-from-WiX-Bootstrapper-after-installation-tp7598318p7598389.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
