[WiX-users] Custom bootstrapper and Server 2008 R2
I am building a bootstrapper and MSI for a server install that will run Windows Server 2008 R2 and up. We are testing a raw install (meaning you just installed base Srv2008R2 with no features yet installed). In this scenario, only v2.0.50727 is installed on the server. When I build the custom UI on XAML (as every example does) it fails with 0x8013101b. Rob says to use fuslogw and though I think I know why: my project is built on v4. XAML itself needs at least v3 to run (which we don't have). So the question is, how do I write my own bootstrapper UI when all I have is v2? I have seen no windows forms apps. Can I write a simple Windows forms app? Or do I have to go to C++ where I can link the runtime with it?

However, burn can also install the .NET Framework for you *before* launching your BA so you might want to go that route and stay in WPF. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Custom-bootstrapper-and-Server-2008-R2-tp7585458p7585459.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Try New Relic Now We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.

That is not clear to me how to do. It appears the BA tries to load my assembly first no? How do I get it to install v4 before loading me?

Re: [WiX-users] Custom bootstrapper and Server 2008 R2
Looks like I figured it out. It is not really apparent to a newbie on WiX though so hopefully it saves someone else pain. In the BootstrapperCore.config you have: startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy=true supportedRuntime version=v2.0.50727 / supportedRuntime version=v4.0 / /startup Remove the v2 runtime line and the Bootstrapper will install v4 before moving on. Hope this helps someone -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Custom-bootstrapper-and-Server-2008-R2-tp7585458p7585469.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Try New Relic Now We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
