The download is used as runtime at build time burn needs to read information from the file. I am not that familiar with the remote payload code but there are examples in the source "src\ext\NetFxExtension\wixlib". If want a .NET 4.0 package you can also use the built-in code, http://wix.sourcef

Can you share a chunk of the log file for that. I expect the issue is the automatic retry code on errors is incorrectly catching this scenario. On Mon, Dec 3, 2012 at 6:15 AM, Bruce Cran wrote: > Has anyone else found that the "cancel" button on the error retry dialog > in WixStdBA doesn't work

You probably have an external cabinet for your MSI that you need to include in the bootstrapper as well. If you use a Bundle to create the bootstrapper, the toolset will automatically find all the external pieces of your MSI. Otherwise, you have to track it all yourself. On Mon, Dec 3, 2012 at 1:

Re: [WiX-users] Burn as a basic bootstrapper

I would encourage you to think of the Bundle (aka: Burn) as your ARP entry and the MSI(s) and other prerequisite executables as shipped contents. You'll get a whole bunch of wins by using a Bundle if you can let go of the fact that the MSI is no longer your ARP entry. On Mon, Dec 3, 2012 at 12:1
