I understand current Wix team statement that it's not possible to build Burn bundle with products A,B and C and then during execution get somewhere product D and install it in the bundle. The reason is security and I get it.
But, what about allowing dynamic bundle where security is provided by certificate used to sing individual MSIs? Example: I create a bundle to which I provide a certificate that will be used for all packages that bundle can install. Bundle itself will have no payload. The MBA will contact download server and provides user the list of available products or updates to install. User selects items, MBA will download them and call Burn Engine to add these items to install chain. Burn checks signature of all these items and accepts them only if it's valid for the certificate used during compilation. This way it's secure and it allows to build really rich install/update platform that is fully data-driven. Current limitation which allows only installation of packages that are known during build-time is so limiting in my use case that I'm not able to use Burn. I would have to build new bundle every few days, have multiple of them to cover different product combinations etc. Being able to leverage Burn install platform with dynamic data would be just awesome. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Feature-suggestion-Dynamic-Burn-bundle-tp7600934.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
