I have pretty much completed our burn mba installer but just come across a
slight problem.
I have declared the .Net 4 ExePackage as compressed="no" (along with all our
other pre-reqs, i.e. SQL Express etc) to avoid sucking it into every build
that we do during test. I have a resolver in my mba that works out where
the pre-reqs are, but of course that doesn't work for .Net4.
When the setup runs on a machine without .Net 4, the bootstrapper runs OK,
but on 'Accept & Install' of course it cant find the .net setup so fails.
(it works if i change to compressed="yes")
The key problem is that my application setup.exe & the .net 4 setup file may
be in different relative places depending on how it is being run - i.e.
during test, on a DVD, on a 'suite' DVD etc, so i cant have a single
relative path set for the ExePackage 'Name' parameter.
I get the feeling that i wont be able to do this, but wonder if there is any
way to 'resolve' the source of the .Net 4 setup? I also dont want users to
have to download it, and i dont want users to see a 'open file dialog' pop
up for them to find it themselves.
Here are the relevant bits of my .net 4 wxs file:
<PackageGroup Id="Netfx4Full">
<ExePackage Id="Netfx4Full" Cache="no" Compressed="no"
PerMachine="yes" Permanent="yes" Vital="yes"
SourceFile="P:\Projects\Updates\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe"
Name="Updates\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe"
DetectCondition="Netfx4FullVersion AND (NOT VersionNT64 OR
Netfx4x64FullVersion)" InstallCommand="/q /norestart"/>
</PackageGroup>
Thanks.
