Hi,
I would like to remove the [Options] button from the Burn dialog when
BootstrapperApplicationRef's Id is set to
"WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense". I understand that I most
likely will need to modify the source; no problem. Where should I look?
Thank you,

Calling one installer from within another is a big no, no and Microsoft
recommends you do not do it. You should use a bootstrapper such as Burn
in order to call which installer you need.
As for exiting gracefully, I think more details on what the installer is
doing would be needed to
Think there is no direct flag. Use a xslt to transform the generated
file instead. In http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=Heat there
exists a sample how to do so.
Best regards

Some construct referencing the corresponding File ID (Here quick &

... and to state the obvious, the registry entries aren't being
redirected because a 64-bit install is running a 64-bit regedit, which again is
why regedit is the wrong thing to do.

It seems to be Windows checking for existing products (I think reading rather

Dear All,
I am working on a WiX installer that allows the user to install either the
product or a third-party software. If the user selects to install the
third-party software, the installer should launch the third-party installer,
wait for it to complete, and then exit the install. Does anyone

Or use Heat with the -ag switch to make it generate *stable* GUIDs. Probably
not helpful if you already shipped.

Specifically:
1. IIRC, MSI 4.0 is not redistributable. You'd have to ship MSI 4.5. You'll
probably have to reboot.
2. Yes, Burn can handle installing MSI 4.5 redist.

Thank you, I will install Hyper-V on a Server 2008 R2 instead of using
