I think there is some confusion. 1) util:ProductSearch works with Burn/Bundle. Whether it will do exactly what you want (as pointed out by Phil) is another matter, but it does work. 2) the standard ProductSearch is desiged to work in the WiX schema and is not suitable for Burn/Bundle. 3) As is pointed out, there are very few limitations if you write a custom BA. That would be my recommendation too.

Inviata dal mio Windows Phone ________________________________ Da: Phill Hogland<mailto:phogl...@rimage.com> Inviato: 09/05/2015 16:56 A: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Oggetto: Re: [WiX-users] Extend ProductSearch for working with Burn exe Package "ProductSearch element works only with msi package," is true of the wix:ProductSearch (which can only be used in a msi context). However in another thread to answer your question John suggested that you look at util:ProductSearch (which is a Bundle related WixExtension). I have not needed any of this when including a Burn bundle in a Burn bundle. As others have responded, look at the RelatedBundle support already in Burn. With regard to finding a Bundle from a non-wix application I have previously detailed for you the approach that my legacy setup uses to to find a child bundle (which relies on defining Bundle/@dep: ProviderKey, getting the BundleId in the mba, and passing it to a chained MSI for storage in a known location in the registry). Also in other threads on this issue Jacob has provided another approach related to using dutil functions. I don't think that your current line of thinking, trying to"extend" a MSI ProductSearch CA to work in Burn, is even possible. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Extend-ProductSearch-for-working-with-Burn-exe-Package-tp7600271p7600272.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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
