That depends on the value of the ComponentsLocation attribute of the GenerateBootstrapper Task in your wixproj file, as well as the CopyComponents attribute.
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164294.aspx For example, if ComponentsLocation="Relative", and CopyComponents="true", then they would get copied alongside your bootstrapper EXE in a separate directory. I'm not sure about embedding them in the MSI; I know Burn can do it, but the GenerateBootstrapper task is part of MSBUILD, not Burn. -----Original Message----- From: Sidky Macatangay [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 5:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapping .NET Framework 4.0 Thanks David, that worked for me! On another note, can anyone confirm that when something has been bootstrapped its executable/installer file gets embedded in the MSI? That's what we would like to happen in our MSI as we want to include everything in the media and avoid any downloading from the internet. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 13:02:49 +0100 > From: "David Watson" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapping .NET Framework 4.0 > To: <[email protected]> > Message-ID: > > > <8701d1480741164db71e42643c4a489f03380...@emeamail0305.global.sdl.corp > > > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > I simply use this... > > <BootstrapperFile Include=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"> > <ProductName>.Net Framework 4.0</ProductName> > </BootstrapperFile> > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Sidky Macatangay [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 22 June 2011 06:21 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [WiX-users] Bootstrapping .NET Framework 4.0 > > I have both .NET Framework 4.0 and Windows Installer 4.5 bootstrapped > in my WiX project but during my testings with several > machines/operating systems only the latter is being detected as not > installed yet.
