Okay, so after digging through the code, I noticed that when generating the
bootstrapper using the -mi option, setup.exe does something interesting:
if (pPackage-dwAttributes SETUP_INSTALL_CHAIN_IGNORE_FAILURES)
{
dwUiLevelPackage |= INSTALLUILEVEL_PROGRESSONLY; // don't throw any scary
error dialogs
}
My C++ is very rusty (haven't done any coding in it since 1998), but to me
it seems that removing this line should fix the problem I'm running into at
the moment. I did try a debug version of my modified EXE, but it keeps
exiting with: EXEC : error 0x80070002: Failed to CreateSetup.
Also, I haven't setup NANT yet, so I'm just trying to get the project to
build in VS2008
Thanks,
Jacques

Hi
I create a chained installer using SetupBld using a commandline like the
one below
setupbld.exe -mi MSI1.msi -mi MSI2.msi -mi MSI3 -title Foo -setup
obj\chained\tempsrc\setup.exe -license docs\EULA.rtf -out MySetup.exe
When I launch the exe using /quiet, I still get a progress bar and the
installer dialog with the cancel button. From what I can tell, this dialog
should only appear when launching in passive mode. I've looked at the WiX
3.0 sources for setupexe.cpp and found the following when it parses the
command line arguments
else if (CSTR_EQUAL == ::CompareStringW(LOCALE_INVARIANT,
NORM_IGNORECASE, argv[i][1], -1, Lquiet, -1))
{
dwUiLevel = INSTALLUILEVEL_NONE;
}
Based on what I read on MSDN (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370389(VS.85).aspx),
INSTALLUILEVEL_NONE is a quiet install
Any idea how I can suppress the progress bars for the UI completely when
launching the EXE?
