[WiX-users] Burn package ref counting
I wasn't able to find much information about this. Does Burn handle package ref counting automatically? Is there nothing we need to do? Or should we be using the DependencyExtension in some way? Do install devs need to handle adding to the package ref count and subtracting? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-package-ref-counting-tp7581786.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn package ref counting
Automatic for MSIs in v3.6 and MSI + MSP in v3.7. Exes need to have a provider key set for them in the ExePackage. MSUs are weird and I recommend just making them permanent.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: package ref-counting not working
There were some changes post-beta and we're working to get a new build published. Most of the scenarios are working now. Stayed tuned on http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths for more information when I can find time to start documenting the feature (and the protocol).
