Two options that come to mind are: Two bundles, one for the client, and one for the server.
A single Bundle which conditionally installs the server components. Use a check box on the install or options page (you'll need a custom theme if your using WixStdBA) tied to a burn variable to determine if the SQL Server/Server install is needed. If your check box is named the same as the variable, it should update the variable when the user changes the state. You can then use the variable in ExePackage/@InstallCondition and MsiPackage/@InstallCondition to determine if your bundle needs to install the server/server prerequisites. -----Original Message----- From: garymonk [mailto:g...@gurudental.com] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2014 11:50 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] How to create a feature set that installs an msi and a bundle exe I have an application that consists of two components, a client and a server. The client will always get installed and the server is optional. If the server is selected to be installed SQL Server also needs to be installed as a prereq. I have created a separate msi for the client. For the server I created a bundle. I have tested both of these and they install properly. Now I would like to create a new msi with a feature set that when the client is selected it executes the client msi and when both are selected it executes both the msi and the server bundle exe. I was unable to get any help when I asked this in August. Is this possible and does anyone have an example? If not does anyone have any suggestions?
