With regard to using a Burn bundle in the chain of a Bundle, I did a little experimenting and I defined the RelatedBundle Action=Detect in the parent and Action=Addon or Update in the child. I put logging code on the various RelatedBundle handlers in the mba but I did not need to do any implementation as Burn handled what I needed automaticly. The ExePackage/@Protocol was set to "burn"
However with regard to finding the Bundle registration under the Windows Uninstall (ARP ) registry key, I posted some details in another thread on this issue. I implemented a process well over a year ago that allows me (as a transition) to use wix bundles as child setups of a non-wix setup, which I am working on eliminating. The auto-generated guid that you mentioned is the BundleID (or ProductID). It is in the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml file. There are examples out there for creating a class for a mba to read this xml file. With a slight modification your mba can know it's BundleID. I pass it down to one of my msi packages which saves it in the registry. (As I recall I also had to explicitly define the ProviderKey to get the ARP registry key to not automatically change. (Last time I indicated that detail someone said I was wrong.) Anyway my non-wix setup knows the application deployed by the msi is installed, looks up the BundleId which installed it, and can then work out the pat to that bundle.exe and launch it to uninstall or repair. Non-standard I know, and I am eager to not need to do this as I fully convert everything to wix. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Detect-condition-for-a-Burn-Package-tp7600124p7600132.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
