[WiX-users] Burn Bootstrapper and SQL Server 2008 R2 Express
Hello we have built a bootstrapper that installs different prerequisites, including SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. This component can only install if there is no pending change on the machine, i.e. if the machine has been rebooted since the last time a setup has written data in the registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations For every other component in our bootstrapper chain, we reboot the machine if the returned code indicate that it is required ( = if there are pending changes). - But if there are pending changes BEFORE the user starts this bootstrapper, we have no way to detect it, and the installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 Express crashes. How should we proceed ? Thank you very much in advance. (note : we have tried to solve this problem placing a fake component before SQL Server 2008 R2 Express that would require to reboot the machine if the registry value PendingFileRenameOperations was not empty, but on some machine (like VMs) this value is never empty, and it cause the bootstrapper to reboot the machine forever) -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [WiX-users] building a custom bootstrapper application from wixstdba
in fact, this error is due to a test in the wixstdba code, my main problem is : i am trying to code a custom BA which is just slightly different from the wixstdba, i would like to transmit many informations in the same way it does. but i can't seem to do it : - is it possible to generate a bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication/ element, which would use a custom BA.dll ? or - is it possible to generate a BootstrapperApplication SourceFile=customBA.dll element, which would transmit information in a manifest node similar to /BootstrapperApplicationData/WixStdbaInformation ? thank you in advance, i am really stuck with this problem 2012/4/25 Rob Mensching r...@robmensching.com That error message must be coming from your custom.dll. I'm a little confused why the code would be looking for wixstdba data if it's not wixstdba.
