It persists the Variable for future executions of the Bundle. It is not currently possible to access persisted Variables for other Bundles (although I believe there is a bug open to add the functionality for related Bundles). On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 11:20 PM, Neil Sleightholm wrote: > What does th

So is that other executions of the same installation e.g. on repair or uninstall? What I was after was a way of saving the install folder if someone changes it so that when they upgrade it installs to the same folder - will I have to do that in the MSI and read the value back in the bundle? Ne

Variable/@Persisted makes the "Remember Property Pattern" ( http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/5/2/The-WiX-toolsets-Remember-Property-pattern) unnecessary for a single Bundle. What you want is the related Bundle solution that does not exist in Burn v3.6. On Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 12:30 AM, Neil

Hi Garrett, with our product we have some libraries that get installed into .NET GAC. The GAC they are installed into is defined by the target framework these assemblies are built for. So, if you build them for .NET 3.5 or earlier, they are installed into the .NET 2.0 GAC. If they are build for .N

Thanks. I've eventually figured out what was the problem: not the patching process, but the way I was trying to generate the transform file. Obviously the metadata in .wixmst file are not as important as contents of the files. I could not create patch using only single working copy of project and j

Hmm. I've discovered the actual problem--which is actually quite a bit more troublesome. Indeed, if I don't have a version of that assembly installed, the binary will get registered in the correct GAC. Unfortunately, if I have a version of the assembly in the .NET 4.0 GAC, the 2.0 version jus
