[WiX-users] Bootstrapper Modify Setup
Hi, I've modified my Bootstrapper theme in order to support installing multiple msi during the installation process based on user selection as follows: Chain PackageGroupRef Id=NetFx40Redist/ PackageGroupRef Id=CrystalReport/ MsiPackage DisplayInternalUI=yes SourceFile=..\bin\$(var.Configuration)\en-us\App1.msi InstallCondition=App1=1/ MsiPackage DisplayInternalUI=yes SourceFile=..\bin\$(var.Configuration)\en-us\App2.msi InstallCondition=App2=1/ MsiPackage DisplayInternalUI=yes SourceFile=..\bin\$(var.Configuration)\en-us\App3.msi InstallCondition=App3=1/ MsiPackage DisplayInternalUI=yes SourceFile=..\bin\$(var.Configuration)\en-us\App4.msi InstallCondition=App4=1/ /Chain When the user double clicks on the bootstrapper msi, is there a way for me to detect which msi has been installed and let the user pick which ones to uninstall? Would the uninstall process follow the steps in the Chain element? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Bootstrapper-Modify-Setup-tp7596927.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Slashdot TV.

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper Modify Setup
The Chain is evaluated from top to bottom when doing an 'Install', and in reverse order (from bottom to top) when doing an uninstall. Typically I just let Burn manage these details. Yes you can create a custom BA (or with WixStdBA use a BAFunctions.dll) and override the various Plan (and other event handlers). I found this blog to be helpful (whether I planed to do an mba or not, in addition to the info in your chm). http://www.wrightfully.com/part-1-of-writing-your-own-net-based-installer-with-wix-overview/ Also your bundle.exe creates a log, typically in your %temp% folder. In looking at that file, particularly with MSI verbose logging enabled, you will see the information about what has been planned, why, and the sequence. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Bootstrapper-Modify-Setup-tp7596927p7596930.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Slashdot TV.
