Hey, Simon. I had the same problems when first try to write BA on managed code. Rob Mensching suggested me to see sources of Wix 3.6 installer itself. wix36-sources\src\Setup\Bundle - location of Wix bootstrapper project wix36-sources\src\Setup\UX - location of BoostrapperApplication project. It uses WPF btw. What you should pay attention to is (assumed your dll is named as 'MyBA.dll'): 1) Bundle.wxs: <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id='ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost'> <Payload Name='BootstrapperCore.config' SourceFile='(Path_to_config_file)\MyBA.BootstrapperCore.config' /> <Payload SourceFile='(Path_to_your_dll)\MyBA.dll' /> </BootstrapperApplicationRef>
2) add MyBA.BootstrapperCore.config (see example wix36-sources\src\Setup\UX\WixUX.BootstrapperCore.config) into your BA project and modify it: ... <wix.bootstrapper> <host assemblyName="MyBA"> <supportedFramework version="v4\Full" /> <supportedFramework version="v4\Client" /> </host> </wix.bootstrapper> ... 3) You have already added [assembly: BootstrapperApplication(typeof(TestBA))] into AssemblyInfo.cs Maybe it is better to modify example wix36-sources\src\Setup\UX\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs Should be fine now. -----Original Message----- Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 14:14:24 -0800 (PST) From: Simon Zinkevicius <simon.zinkevic...@hp.com> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Trouble implementing a BootstrapperApplication in C# To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <1298499264403-6058081.p...@n2.nabble.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I also added the following line the the AssemblyInfo.cs in the bootstrapper Application library but it still will not run.
