Re: [WiX-users] running code to pick the correct msi to run

2013-12-19 Thread Nick Ramirez
You can create a custom bootstrapper application (such as by using WPF) and
have that do just about anything you need. Burn has extension points for
this. Curious, how come the logic needs to live on a website? Did you not
want to base the language off of the user's language settings on their PC?

[WiX-users] running code to pick the correct msi to run

2013-12-17 Thread Jack Sojourn
basically I have 6 different localized msi.  I want to have one msi/exe
that selects the correct one based on some logic.

(the logic contacts a website to get some json identifying the correct
language to use.  if offline it defaults to English or ui culture)

I know I can create a mst transform file and then pass the command line
param but I need to run this logic first.

so what would someone suggest as the best way?  can burn do this?  should I
create my own exe but how would I package the msi in it?

I know people have created language selection uis but I think burn only
supports certain actions and a json request is not one of them correct?

thanks for the help and/or suggestions!
