[WiX-users] Burn is it possible to not install the bundle and only install the packages?
I have an installation that I need to havee the option for All users or just me, I got this working on the individual installer but I need a bootstrapper to run either the 32 or 64 bit and install some prereqs. I think the best option for what I want is to have the bootstrapper but not actually install itself, or delete itself upon installation then have the installation package be visible and permanent. I think that will prevent the bundle uninstall from removing and will allow users to see it in the Remove program menu. Is this possible using wix burn?

Re: [WiX-users] Burn is it possible to not install the bundle and only install the packages?
So I would make the bundle UI have a choice between Everyone or Just Me then send that to the packages being installed. To do this would I need to create a custom boot strap application? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-is-it-possible-to-not-install-the-bundle-and-only-install-the-packages-tp7583772p7583785.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Everyone hates slow websites.

[WiX-users] Burn ALLUSERS on the bundle and ALLUSERS on the package
I have a bundle that is installing .NET 4.0 and installing either a 32 bit or
64 bit version of a msi.
The msi that gets installed has a Just Me scope option that sets ALLUSERS to
{}. However this does not work well since it seems that the bundle is set
to perMachine scope so the uninstall feature doesn't work well.
Is there a good way to handle this case?
Some solutions that I thought may work.
1. Write a custom UI and do the ALLUSER dialog there then set the msi
properties.
2. Have the Remove program dialog actually point to the package instead of
the bundle (I have no idea if this is possible or how to do it).
3. ???
What should I do to solve this?
Thanks.

[WiX-users] Why does changing INSTALLFOLDER cause InstallDirDlg to break
I am trying to combine InstallScopeDlg and InstallDirDlg into a single UI and have been trying to get it to set INSTALLFOLDER then call the InstallDirDlg which causes an error. I am changing the property with the following. Publish Dialog=InstallScopeDlg Control=Next Property=INSTALLFOLDER Value=[WixPerUserFolder] Order=4WixAppFolder = WixPerUserFolder/Publish Then if I publish to InstallDirDlg after changing this it breaks. I am open to a better way of doing this also as I have just started using WiX. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Why-does-changing-INSTALLFOLDER-cause-InstallDirDlg-to-break-tp7583551.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!

[WiX-users] Creating a bootstrap application and need a more simple UI
I am creating an installer and need to install a few prereqs and one of two applications depending on what OS they are using. The default UI seems more complex than I need. I just want the bootstrapper to start installing the applications and not show any dialog. (One dialog is ok if it can have a simple message stating that the solution and all the prereqs are about to be installed. Then just have an install button.) I don't see a simple way of doing this other than possibly creating a custom BootstrapperApplication. How best should I go about solving this problem? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Creating-a-bootstrap-application-and-need-a-more-simple-UI-tp7583473.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!

Re: [WiX-users] Creating a bootstrap application and need a more simple UI
My issue isn't the installer UI but rather the bootstrapper UI (If that makes sense). Basically I created an installer with the UI that I want but I also need to install a few prereqs for the solution. From what I have read the best way to do this is by using burn and creating a bootstrapper. I have done this but the UI is too complex. The big problem is that it forces the user to accept a license and this is not needed at this point. I would like for the bootstrapper to just load and start installing the chain of packages or give a simple Install button. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Creating-a-bootstrap-application-and-need-a-more-simple-UI-tp7583473p7583475.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!

Re: [WiX-users] Creating a bootstrap application and need a more simple UI
Bruce, That is really close to what I am looking for. The only improvement I can think of would be to reduce the size and have a short message. And maybe a background logo like the wix ui can have.
