[WiX-users] Bundle variable and wixstdba command line
Hi, it seems like wixstdba now supports overriding variables from the command line (looking at the variable element in the help, as well as defects 3480653 and 3489809 apparently fixed). However, I have no success. I am using WiX v3.6.3109.0 Release (from wix36-binaries.zip) I define a variable in my bundle like this: Variable Name=MYVAR Value=myvalue Type=string and I use it in a Package InstallCondition like so: InstallCondition=MYVAR = quot;myothervalueqot; Visible =yes Then on the command line I pass MYVAR=myothervalue the log shows MYVAR taking on the default value, but nothing else. I expected to see an error, as per help for the variable@Overridable: Otherwise, WixStdBA won't overwrite the default value and will log Ignoring attempt to set non-overridable variable: The installCondition evaluates to false, so I assume that the variable is not set from the command line. Also, I was unable to use the variable overridable attribute (I don't quite understand the help on this; I have tried various syntax, each give me an error message). E.g. Variable Name=MYVAR Value=myvalue Type=string Overridable =yes/ error CNDL0004 : The Variable element contains an unexpected attribute 'Overridable'. or this Variable Name=MYVAR Value=myvalue Type=string bal:WixBalExtension Override=yes/ /Variable error CNDL0203 : The Variable element contains an unsupported extension element 'bal:WixBalExtension'. The Variable element does not currently support extension elements. Is the bal:WixBalExtension element using the correct XML namespace? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] Pass parameters from bootstrapper to msi bundle package
I just figured out how this works looking through the WixStdBA source code. This was implemented in time for the RC release on May 21. (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=3489809group_id=105970atid=642714) To pass command line arguments, it goes something like this: Wix Bundle Variable Name=CommandLineArg bal:Overridable=yes/ Chain MsiPackage MsiProperty Name=CommandLineArg Value=[CommandLineArg]/ /MsiPackage /Chain /Bundle /Wix You have to make a bundle variable that is overridable at the command line and then pass that variable to your msi.

Sadly, the native BA is a bit rough around the edges. For now the team has been focusing on the core functionality of burn and not the BA's. My advice would be if you need a BA now then it would be faster to do in a MBA than a BA (if your application already requires .Net). If you can't swallow .Net as a prereq, then I'd suggest forking on codeplex and adding the functionality you are looking for. -Original Message- From: Tomislav Markovski [mailto:tmarkovski@...] Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 10:56 AM To: wix-users@...
