Re: [WiX-users] setupbld, bootstrappers and command line parameters (msicl)
I've finally had time to look at the code for this and then realised I couldn't do it because it was written in C (which I don't know). I thought it was done in C# :( Oh well, I'll wait for 3.5. Thanks anyway. Rob Mensching-2 wrote: 1. If you sign the assignment agreement then, yeah, I'd take a change to setupbld/setupexe.

My expectation is that WiX v3.5 happens during 2009. The hope is that WiX v3 bugs ramp down hard and so we can spend some focused time on the bootstrapper that got cut from WiX v3.0. Burn (the bootstrapper) was a hard cut from WiX v3 but looking at the bug count and stability of the core toolset and extensions I think it was worth it.

WiX v4 will start sometime 2010 since I expect WiX v3.0 to be all done end of 2009. An updated roadmap about all of this is coming soon. I've just been focused on killing the last few extension bugs.

[WiX-users] setupbld, bootstrappers and command line parameters (msicl)
Has anyone noticed that the wix bootstrappers can't take command line parameters that have spaces in them? I have created a bootstrapper using setupbld, and it works fine if run as it is. But try and feed in some parameters like this: setup.exe /msicl abc=1 2 3 and you get a window Install Error: The process terminated unexpectedly. and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this? How does one log a bug for WiX. This is quite a serious one as I need the bootstrapper to work in production... -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/setupbld%2C-bootstrappers-and-command-line-parameters-%28msicl%29-tp1464124p1464124.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
