Thank you for your reply. I know, that it can be that simple to use the WixNetFxExtension. Unfortunately I need to also install on machines that have no internet access and so I can't use it. That's why I copied some part from the WixNetFxExtension and adjusted it to use the .Net exe I put on the disk.
Nonetheless I tried your approach. The result is the same: If I install .Net an ARP entry for my bundle is created and if I cancel the custom bootstrapper and start it again, it comes up in maintenance mode because WixBundleInstalled is 1. I even tried with the WiX v3.7 setup itself and it showed the same behavior. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Pally Sandher [mailto:pally.sand...@iesve.com] Gesendet: Dienstag, 12.

Yes it's that simple using WiXNetFXExtension. All the extra code you have is just duplicating effort & causing you problems.

Subject: [WiX-users] Bundle registered in ARP after prerequesites are installed When we install our bundle on a machine that has no .Net 4 installed, it gets installed by the prerequisites installer. Afterwards our custom bootstrapper starts up, and the wix variable WixBundleInstalled is 0, which is correct. Unfortunately at this point there already exists an entry for our bootstrapper in ARP. So when we cancel installation and restart our bootstrapper, WixBundleInstalled returns 1 and we start in maintenance mode, although our bundle isn't installed. Here is what I use to install .net 4: <Fragment> <util:RegistrySearchRef Id="NETFRAMEWORK40CLIENT"/> <?define NetFx40EulaLink = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188993 ?> <WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqPackageId" Value="NetFx40Client" /> <WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl" Value="$(var.NetFx40EulaLink)" /> <PackageGroup Id="NetFx40Client"> <ExePackage InstallCommand="/q /norestart /ChainingPackage "[WixBundleName]"" RepairCommand="/q /norestart /repair /ChainingPackage "[WixBundleName]"" UninstallCommand="/uninstall /q /norestart /ChainingPackage "[WixBundleName]"" PerMachine="yes" DetectCondition="NETFRAMEWORK40CLIENT" Id="NetFx40Client" Vital="yes" Permanent="yes" Protocol="netfx4" Compressed="no" Cache="no" SourceFile="..\dotnet_4_0\dotNetFx40_Client_x86_x64.exe" Name="data\dotnet\dotNetFx40_Client_x86_x64.exe"> </ExePackage> </PackageGroup> </Fragment> What would I have to change to get this scenario to work? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
