Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper Upgrade Issue

Here are the logs from the exact same test but with the SceduleReboot element commented out of Package A. This upgrade is successful. The main difference I see is the dependents check i.e. dependents are actually found during this successful upgrade (and so A and B are correctly left alone). Not

Hi all - really glad to see 3.6 is out ! We have an MSI with upgrade-related logic implemented by the MajorUpgrade element: Specifically, we don't want upgrades or downgrades to occur automatically (the user is prompted to use Add/Remove Programs instead). Here is an excerpt from Product.wxs :

I suppose you could, but I it's the wrong tool for the job. I think just about everyone here would advise against using a MSI to push another MSI onto a remote system. You can get what you want with a batch file, scripting against WMI, and there's probably something in powershell too. Can you te

Thanks for clarifying. We were able to suppress UAC by using ApplicationRequiresElevation="true". So, it's certainly doable. I'm trying to find out how to do it in 3.6 as we no longer use the GenerateBootstrapper task. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.68

Sorry, I mean that you use the /quiet switch with the resulting executable that the build produces, by specifying it at install time. E.g. if your build produces setup.exe then you run "setup /quiet" when you install it. You can't prevent UAC warnings with Windows. Only the user can do that by dis

We use the VS 2010 plug-in, which uses candle and light exes. We don't use burn.exe per se. So, I'm not sure how I can add the /quiet switch. Also, for the other question, are you saying that there's no way to work around the UAC warnings with Burn? Thanks Erkan -- View this message in context
