[WiX-users] Burn usage...
Hi folks, Is it possible to use burn like an autorun? i.e. I have 3 products, 1 is a server application, the other is the server application (without any UI), the other is a client application. By using Radial buttons, can I let the user choose which application to install? 1. would they be able to install another application afterwards? 2. would ARP/Programs and Features be set up properly? 3. within burn would I be able to set pre reqs for the different applications? My company wants me to create a 1 EXE installer for our 3 applications and I just want to know if it is possible with burn... thanks, Steve -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-usage-tp7584102.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Everyone hates slow websites.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn usage...
You can use Burn to Bundle all your packages into one executable experience yes. 1. Yes, you can go back and do Install, Repair, Uninstall operations to the same Bundle by launching it again. 2. One Bundle gets one ARP entry. You could use Addon Related Bundles to have separate Bundles that are installed separate but can be repaired/uninstalled together. Addon Bundles are a bit advanced and if you are good with one ARP entry, I'd go with one Bundle. 3. Yes. Your BootstrapperApplication can control the state of all the chained packages.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn usage...
Regarding point 1. I would point out that the standard burn BA does not support Change out of the box so if you run the install again you only get repair/uninstall. You indicated that you wanted radio buttons to select one of 3 applications, which would imply change from one install to another to me not adding the new application. If you wanted to add an application I would suggest you want checkboxes otherwise you couldn't support a single ARP entry.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn usage...
I am afraid not, I tried but couldn't get burn to play ball - I think Change has to work in a particular way and I never figured it out. I ran out of time for my application and had to implement it outside the install.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn usage...
Classification: Public Stupid question... Could I use a parent burn and have 3 check boxes that launch a burn (bootstrapper) exe? So parent exe that launches 3 children exe based on check box selection? Not pretty but a workaround?

Re: [WiX-users] Burn usage...
If you are going to do lots of customization, you'll want your own BA. PS: It's up to Neil if he wants to contribute the code to the WiX toolset. He's started the process, there are some good discussions on wix-devs. On Tue, Mar 5, 2013 at 11:46 AM, Steven Ogilvie steven.ogil...@titus.comwrote: Classification: Public Stupid question...
