Re: [WiX-users] Some in burn wixstba similar to msiexec /x ProductCode
Having the update URL come from outside the Bundle would be a very large security gap. Essentially, any Bundle could be used to launch any other random Bundle. That's not right. There is certainly work that could be done in the wixstdba to support bundle self-update but I don't think passing the update URL via the command-line is the right way to do that. smile/ On Sun, Oct 14, 2012 at 5:56 PM, Wesley Manning wmann...@dynagen.ca wrote: Sorry, for (1) I meant I don't want to do it from a custom BA.

Re: [WiX-users] Some in burn wixstba similar to msiexec /x ProductCode
Very True. I was thinking that there would not be a security issue if you check the UpgradeCode on the downloaded bundle before installing but anybody could make a bundle with my upgrade code. :) Maybe you could support it only in cases were the bundle is signed? You could check that the signature from both bundles come from the same company once downloaded. Is this reasonable? And/or add a URL attribute for wixstba in the wix project that gets compiled and that only allow checks for updates from this URL or based off this URL??? Anyways I was trying to take the easy route but looks like going to have to implement my own BA. :) Thanks.

[WiX-users] Some in burn wixstba similar to msiexec /x ProductCode
Hi, have some questions about wixstba: (1) Wix 3.7 bundle self update feature: Is it possible (or any plans to make it possible) to run from the command line? You would need to run the bundle exe (thus have to know where its located). There is already -uninstall, -repair, etc. (2) Since Windows installer is part of the operating system it is possible to install/uninstall/repair by running msiexec /x ProductCode. You don't need to have the MSi file or know where it is on the computer. Is there something similar for bundles? This question is really about burn in general. (3) Similar to (2) above but for the wix 3.7 self update feature: give an upgrade code and URL and have it download and upgrade the bundle. Is this possible? I was hoping to have our software update itself / show its own install progress UI so the user doesn't have to use the bundle for that (they may not have the bundle anymore). The bundle would only be used to install our software on a clean computer or if user goes to ARP they can interact with the bundle. I see in Wix37\src\burn\Samples there is an example on how to get progress from burn. I could write code to download the burn exe myself but burn can already download updates so...
