Hi,
I'm just curious what can "burn" and "netfx" protocols supports? I need to
install SQLServer Express with my bundle I would like to see the progress
bar moves while it is installing instead of installing in the background. It
may look like that the installer hangs and doing nothing.
Tried bot
Except for that one repeatable machine, the problem always "went away" upon
retry (the same behavior you all have reported). That one machine was able
to repro more than once in a row, and after about four days I even got it to
repro in the debugger. That's when I finally discovered exactly what wa
Actually, I caught the pre-processor docs. Replacing every $ with $$
works. I just had to get my regex replacement correct. Sorry for the bum

You'll have to do some additional work to associate the bundles. I

Where? The Burn log will have additional details, like an error code.

See the Bundle element doc:

Does it work if you use MSBuild? There's a bootstrapper project template
for Visual Studio.

That's been my experience. If I set Platform="x64" to make a 64-bit installer
then it won't run on 32-bit systems.

No. MSI can only support one architecture per script as far as I know.
You still need a bootstrapper to launch the appropriate installer.

The best way to do this is to ask yourself (or whoever made the decision)
whether you really need multiple versions for customers. In most situations
you should be able to get away with just one installer and if you really need
to, allow some parts of it to be optional to the end user.

I can't say I fully agree with you (or maybe there is a misunderstanding on
