Try setting a property to the multi-string value with [~] as the separator
between strings.

[WiX-users] How do you start an application after uninstall from MBA?

[victorwhiskey]

Hello,

I'm having a problem starting a shared .exe after I uninstall one of my
applications from ARP. Both logs (msi and BA) don't indicate any problems.
They show a unisntall of the msi and a proper shutdown of the BA. However,
this is what I'm trying to do: so if I detect I have another one of our apps
installed. I go and launch the shared .exe from the BA on ApplyComplete by
using ProcessStart and passing it a start info object and setting the
workingdirectory property. I don't need to wait for this process or
anything, I've also tried to run this off a Task.

At this time it launches our app and everything seems to uninstall fine, but
actually not. It seems something is still referencing/holding on to the
uninstall process. ARP does not update to remove the entry that I just
uninstalled unless I manually hit refresh OR I kill the app that I launched
on uninstall.

How can I just launch the app without ARP holding onto the uninstall?

Thanks in advance!

[WiX-users] Populating registry multiString MultiStringValue elements

[Joseph L. Casale]

I want to implement a listbox with optional entries to later insert into a 
registry
multiString RegistryValue. What is the approach used here to perform this as the
MultiStringValue's obviously will need to be dynamically added?

Is the only way a CA that writes the values out?

Thanks,
jlc

[WiX-users] How to suppress MSI error message boxes with custom BA?

[js69]

I'm using a custom BA to install different MSI packages with
DisplayInternalUI="no". I have tried setting the UILevel property to 2 as
well, which made no difference.


I will still see MSI error message boxes, e.g. for 1709 Errors for obsolete
packages that have no majorupgrade handling. I want to handle all MSI errors
with my custom BA.

This is the corresponding log:



The MSI is called like this from the BA according to the log:



What is CLIENTUILEVEL and why is it set by Burn?

Is it possible to suppress all MSI message boxes?
