Re: [WiX-users] setupbld setup.exe & repair install
Don't worry. Burn will be part of WiX v3.5. Said another way, WiX v3.5 won't release without Burn. I'm just caught up in a whirlwind of change right now that has significantly impeded the progress of Burn. Getting all that unblocked is my utmost priority.

Re: [WiX-users] setupbld setup.exe & repair install
Turned out this is not so trivial. Line in the setup.cpp file (the source for the SETUPBLD stub setup.exe) says "hr = StrAllocConcat(&pwzProperties, L" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=\"vomus\"", 0);" this forces a minor upgrade instead of a normal install that produces the change/repair/remove dialog. For anyone interested there is a modified version of a tool out there called msistuff.exe which comes with another setup.exe stub (your msi is added to this as a resource). msistuff.exe setup.exe /d MySetup.msi /v 200 /o INSTALLUPD /b MySetup.msi /p REINSTALLMODE=omus Although similar to SETUPBLD the difference is the /p switch which allows you to control MSIEXEC. I read somewhere else this might appear in the next version of SETUPBLD whenever. I really do hope "Burn" someday sees the light. This I think would be the last hurdle before WIX runs over Installshield and the rest.

Using the command: SETUPBLD -title "MyApp" -ms MyAppSetup.msi -setup setup.exe -out MyAppSetup.exe However, I get a strange difference between the exe & msi installer version. Running the installer with the application already installed: with MyAppSetup.msi it shows up the "Change, Repair, Remove" dialog as expected. with MyAppSetup.exe it proceeds to a repair install and no "Change, Repair, Remove" dialog like I got when I ran the msi installer. Any ideas why this is so anyone or is this normal ? Would be slightly concerned releasing setup.exe showing this behaviour.
