Would a major upgrade be better for you ? Keep your existing source code but change the product code. You can then apply it without command line arguments. Some advice is in the wix help http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/major_upgrade.htm -Original Message- From: Jerra

burn.exe is the engine that gets compiled with your packages to create a final bundle. To actually compile a bundle, you create a .wxs file that uses the new top-level Bundle element. The WiX.chm walks through the very basics of this. On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 11:54 AM, lily@us.7layers.com

To be very clear, Burn is not an installation engine. It bootstraps the installation process and chains packages to create a unified experience. You still need an installation engine. Creating an installation engine in WiX is not something to consider until WiX v4. smile/ On Thu, May 31, 2012 at
