Re: [WiX-users] Custom Bootstrapper Application - accessing variables set at custom actions

The custom action code sets a MSI property, not a burn variable. You have no WiX-standard way of doing so, however you could you an atom table entry for that. - Nir Bar Freelance Developer Mail: nir.

That is not clear to me how to do. It appears the BA tries to load my assembly first no? How do I get it to install v4 before loading me? The salient parts of the Bundle.wxs are below http://www.living-planit.com"; Copyright="Copyright© 2013, Living PlanIT SA" IconSourceFile="UI\Setup.
