Re: [WiX-users] Burn custom bootstrapper and ARPINSTALLLOCATION?
Hi Bob, Thanks for the feedback. I can understand why burn doesn't presently support it. I'm not opposed to implementing the feature but will have to look into what is involved.

The most common case has more than one install location.

[WiX-users] Burn custom bootstrapper and ARPINSTALLLOCATION?
Hello, I am migrating an MSI based installer over to a custom managed WiX burn bootstrapper based installer. The reason is that my MSI has reached 2 GB and I decided to split the MSI into multiple MSIs (one per feature) and chain them together using burn. This approach will be especially beneficial for web-based installs as only the selected features will be downloaded. However, in my original MSI I set the ARPINSTALLLOCATION property so that the install location shows up in ARP. I would like to do the same thing with my new burn-based installer. However, burn creates its own ARP entry for the bootstrapper. How do I set the ARPINSTALLLOCATION for the burn bootstrapper bundle? I'm passing the same InstallFolder to each MSI in the chain, so the concept of an "install location" does make sense for my bootstrapper.
