Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrap example
Looks awesome man, can I somehow install the pre-requisites silently and show a custom message like installing pre-requisites? Also, since this would be a .net exe what kind of message is shown when the client computer does not have the framework?

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrap example
Although you're generating it with the .NET SDK, it doesn't actually create a managed exe fortunately. -Francis On 6/15/07, Nitin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Looks awesome man, can I somehow install the pre-requisites silently and show a custom message like installing pre-requisites?
