Re: [WiX-users] Specifying a default directory in the standard bundle
Hi: Ok, I have a bundle that is going to install either a 32-bit or 64-bit msi after installing the windows installer prereq. What I'd ideally like is the InstallFolder variable to pick up the install directory from the msi so going down from either program files/program files64--perhaps use this as a default, and make this user configurable through a property. Hpe this clarifies my thinking. Also whilst I think about it, can we do feature selections in the standard unmanaged boot strapper?

[WiX-users] Specifying a default directory in the standard bundle
Hi: I'm trying to move a product I'm involved with to a burn bundle. I using the non-managed bootstrapper-I'm not actually specifying a bootstrapper in my bundle. What I need to do is specify a default installation directory for this bundle. How do I go about doing this? When I click options it seems as if the directory isn't populated from the msi. Also I need to install Windows Installer as a prereq, what is the best way of doing this if I'm not using the managed boosstrapper.
