Ah, thank you Tobias! In Bundle.wxs I had <BootstrapperApplication> but I needed to have <BootstrapperApplicationRef>. Attention to detail, FTW. After making that change I got these errors:
E:\delivery\Dev\wix36_public\src\ext\BalExtension\wixlib\Mba.wxs(46,0): error LGHT0197: The Windows Installer XML variable !(wix.WixMbaPrereqPackageId) is unknown. Please ensure the variable is declared on the command line for light.exe, via a WixVariable element, or inline using the syntax !(wix.WixMbaPrereqPackageId=some value which doesn't contain parenthesis). E:\delivery\Dev\wix36_public\src\ext\BalExtension\wixlib\Mba.wxs(46,0): error LGHT0197: The Windows Installer XML variable !(wix.WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl) is unknown. Please ensure the variable is declared on the command line for light.exe, via a WixVariable element, or inline using the syntax !(wix.WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl=some value which doesn't contain parenthesis). According to this thread<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=CAHdHTVd9zEsFZnce_EBHNn%2BpM984C28THT3Ed9fgcsQp8B6nRA%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=wix-users>I added these variables: <WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqPackageId" Value="Netfx4Full" /> <WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl" Value="NetfxLicense.rtf" /> Errors went away and now it works! Can anyone shed some light on the functional difference between BootstrapperApplication and BootstrapperApplicationRef? (ie when to use each?)
