Re: [WiX-users] Burn: Prerequisites on Windows 2012 Server and the Server Manager requirement
I think the issue is actually that Burn is putting the full path to the executable to prevent PATH searching and opening a potential security vulnerability. Full paths are always safer.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: Prerequisites on Windows 2012 Server and the Server Manager requirement
All,
I've created a simple ExeRunner application that can be embedded into your
bundle and then be called to run a command on the destination computer. To
install .NET Framework 3.5 and less on Win 8, the entire command line would
be:
ExeRunner.exe C:\Windows\system32\dism.exe /online /norestart
/enable-feature /featurename:netfx3
If the inner command fails, it's error code is returned.
ExeRunner can be downloaded at
https://exerunner.codeplex.com/releases/view/101384. I hope this fulfills
everyone's needs.

Cheers Neil, Rob! I'll look into that later today and get back.

built-in (I haven't actually installed 2012 yet so don't know).
If it is not ocsetup it could be dcim or pkgmgr.
You can't call any of these directly from burn so I wrote shell app that I
could embed in burn to call them with the correct command line (I never
completely finished it as we decided it was easier to drop .NET 3.5 and go
for .NET 4.0). This is the code I had but it was written in .NET so might
not any good if 2012 doesn't have any .NET installed:
namespace OcsRunner
{
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
public class Program
{
public static int Main(string[] args)
{
var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = ocsetup.exe;
startInfo.Arguments = String.Join( , args) + /norestart
/quiet;
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
var p = new Process();
p.StartInfo = startInfo;
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
return p.ExitCode;
}
}
}
Hope this helps.

I didn't see an answer regarding this question and I'm sort of stuck on
this. Does anybody have an idea how to handle the different way Windows
2012 Server behaves if a prerequisite is defined as a server feature?
Thanks,

Hello,
My program has a .NET 3.5 prerequisite and I have used Burn and the
standard code successfully on Windows Server 2008 SP2.
On Windows Server 2012 however, .NET 3.5 and many other prerequisites
need to be installed via the Server Manager as features instead and
cannot be installed via an MSI delivered with or pulled down via the
Burn executable, see attached screenshot.
My question is: How can I use continue to use Burn to handle my
prerequisites and make it work on Windows Server 2012?
Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: Prerequisites on Windows 2012 Server and the Server Manager requirement
I think someone created a custom exe to handle this scenario in the archives. Be nice to have a more ideal solution built in but no one has coded that yet.
