Hi Rob,
yes, the exe is signed, but I run the bootstrapper on a VMWare image
without a connection to the internet :-(
I have run it now on my host system and the bootstrapper was able to
launch the chained installer (signature is valid and trusted).
Is there a way to launch it on a system
I have opened an issue here:

Hi Rob,
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Elevation is done by the chained
installers itself and not Burn ? If so, and I run several MSI + Exe
packages thereafter each wants elevation. Then I'd highly vote at
least for an ability to embed an admin manifest without need of
mt.exe.

What error do you get when Windows fails to uninstall when a file is missing
? I thought that would work.
Repairing the MSI before trying to uninstall would restore the missing files,
if you have access to the original MSI.
If you have customers that are deleting files in the Windows directory,
I know that it is possible to write to the MSI database during the course of
the install. However, I'm not sure why you would want to. I'm assuming that the
changes are persisted to the file, though. Can someone provide some useful
examples of why you would want to update the MSI database
VMWares seem to be somehow tricky regarding retrieving the revocation
lists to verify the signatures. If your company policies allow does it
work if you connect the VM directly to the internet ? Did you try
different settings for Network Adapter like Host-only + Connect at
power on disabled ?
Hi Tobias,
thanks for your hints.
But the real problem is not VMWare.
Our real target system will be restricted testsystem without internet
connection.
So I really need a way to launch the bootstrapper on a system without
internet connection.
Cheers,

Hi Thomas,
Give it a try on that real restricted testsystem or some other system
without internet connection. Assume that this system migth behave
different than a VM. We had such experience when using VMs in our
testing environment where the certificates could not correctly be
updated.
My
One example is to fix the cached .msi during upgrade before
'RemoveExistingProducts' if some bug was found in the uninstallation of the
previous version, or execution of some actions will prevent the upgrade.

I agree with that and I was searching for a while to find a programmatic way
to reqest elevation from .Net so that I can force the BA to elevate right
before it is
That is wrong. smile/
You will get *at most one *elevation prompt with Burn. I specifically call
out that behavior in this blog entry:

That would be a bug. Please do open one so we don't forget about it.

That bug is not related. Verifying signatures can be a very slow process for
various random reasons. Given the other thread about it not working in
disconnected scenarios, it is possible this is a bug. If you can provide
very exact information about what is going wrong, I'd say open a bug. Detail
This may or may not add value as well:

Hmm, this is supposed to work, Thomas. Can you open a bug with as much
detail as possible. I think it basically comes down to getting the right
flags passed to WinVerifyTrust(), which is unfortunately no easy task.

I experimented some more with orca after looking at the Archive File

in the MSI SDK, and saw the translation of tabs to char 16(DLE).
From digging into the source, it appears the compiler uses a tab
delimited intermediate format to pass custom table rows to the linker,
however it does not
I downloaded the source and changed the compiler and linker to use null,
\x0, instead of tab, \t, and it resolved the problem confirming my earlier
suspician. I will open it as a bug.

I have seen a sporadic error in my installer where custom actions written in
C# exit but the install fails with the 1603 error when the action exits. I
put a log message just before the return and it gets logged but the install
fails. I checked and there are no objects that need to be disposed.
