Re: [WiX-users] Burn - WACK, unresolvable warnings?
Regarding the following comment (and as an alternative approach until the issue is addressed in Burn): I'll just have to live with that warning. However, to me, it looks like the version warnings are just an oversight. Is that so? And is there a clean way of resolving these warnings? The GUID in this reg key is the Bundle/@Id in the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml file. (I think I had to also set Bundle/@dep:ProviderKey for that to be the case.) So using code shared here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12846421/getting-display-name-from-packageid you could modify it to get that GUID, in a custom ba, and then property drive a msi package in your chain to write those values. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-WACK-unresolvable-warnings-tp7590378p7598654.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

Re: [WiX-users] Burn - WACK, unresolvable warnings?
Sounds like a bug. Burn should allow you to set that value if it's going to be
required by Windows. Is that requirement written down somewhere? If so, it'd be
great to link to it in the bug.

I am in the same situation.
The last warning that you are mentioning, InstalLocation is missing, if you
compare both entrance in the registry values
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{GUID}
and the one in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{GUID},
both are different, and the one in the Wow6432 directory has a parameter
InstallLocation which I guess is empty. I am currently trying to work something
out, trying to pass the InstallLocation from the bootrstrapper to avoid the
warning.
Let me know if you did remove the warning.
Cheers.

I checked the source code of WIX 3.X, in the following file https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/blob/develop/src/burn/engine/registration.cpp if you look at the lines 725,726, it contains the following: // InstallLocation: provided by UI // TODO: need to figure out what InstallLocation means in a chainer. smile/ InstallLocaton is the parameter in the bundle for Wow6432 registry value in the x64 Architecture. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-WACK-unresolvable-warnings-tp7590378p7595947.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?

[WiX-users] Burn - WACK, unresolvable warnings?
Heya
I've been running the Windows App Certification Kit on my Burn bootstrapper.
I have 5 (It's actually 3) warnings that seem unresolvable due to
implementation details of Burn (please correct me if I'm wrong).
The warnings are:
* An optional value 'MajorVersion' is missing or invalid for program MY
BUNDLE NAME
* An optional value 'MinorVersion' is missing or invalid for program MY
BUNDLE NAME
* An optional value 'VersionMajor' is missing or invalid for program MY
BUNDLE NAME
* An optional value 'VersionMinor' is missing or invalid for program MY
BUNDLE NAME
* An optional value 'InstallLocation' is missing or invalid for program MY
BUNDLE NAME
This is on a Windows 8.1 64-bit machine, where Burn writes to
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{GUID}.
It seems that the Burn engine for some reason omits writing these version
entries (although it does write (string)BundleVersion).
I understand there might be some debate as to what sort of InstallLocation Burn
should write, being a chainer and all. So I guess
I'll just have to live with that warning. However, to me, it looks like the
version warnings are just an oversight. Is that so?
And is there a clean way of resolving these warnings?
Thanks
Simon
