Re: [WiX-users] Burn: check for MSI existence and validity

Rob Mensching-7 wrote The BootstrapperApplication.xml should list all the payloads, so if you really want to do this upfront, your BA should be able to it (plus using the WixBundleOriginalPath variable). In the temporary folder I found a file BootstrapperApplicationData.xml. I guess this

I can also verify that BootstrapperApplicationData.xml doesn't contain the payload information...it's in the manifest file. I think it would be advantageous to include all of the information from the manifest in the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml file (or at least write the manifest to the

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: check for MSI existence and validity

In our MBA we implemented a setup wizard with a feature selection on the first step. My intention was to give a hint to the user in case of missing or invalid packages *before* he entered the necessary information and the installation actually begins. Rob Mensching-7 wrote 1. If a package

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: check for MSI existence and validity

Hmm, yeah, Burn doesn't validate the source until it knows exactly what it needs (aka: after Plan). The BootstrapperApplication.xml should list all the payloads, so if you really want to do this upfront, your BA should be able to it (plus using the WixBundleOriginalPath variable). On Tue, Jan

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: check for MSI existence and validity

1. If a package cannot be found, you will get a source resolution callback. 2. At the very least Burn does a SHA1 hash of the files to verify they are correct before installing them for security reasons. If you digitally sign your payloads, Burn will verify the signatures instead of hashing

[WiX-users] Burn: check for MSI existence and validity

Hi, We created several bootstrapper projects, which include some MSI packages with option Compressed='no'. As a result the MSIs have to be: 1) available on the file system at the right location (relative to the bootstrapper) and 2) available in the right version (which means it has to be exactly
