I'm on Wix 3.7. I have an MSI that I would like to set a registry key (perhaps via a Custom Action, as he will have to check if the key already exists).
I'm understand that a Bundle in a bootstrapper project can't change the machine state (such as setting the registry). Therefore, I'm attempting to pass a command line argument via <MsiProperty>, but doesn't appear to show up as a command line argument in my log file for the bootstrapper. 1. Is it possible to set a registry key up in a Bundle? 2. If not, how can I add a command line argument (or some other piece of custom data) to be passed to the MSI. 3. How can the MSI read whatever it is I pass to it (whether I tends up being a command line arg or something else). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Bundle Name="MyInstallerBootstrapperLocalDb" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="$(var.Configuration) Industires" UpgradeCode="*"> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" /> <Chain> <MsiPackage Id="MyInstallerInstaller" SourceFile="$(var.MyInstallerInstaller.TargetPath)" Compressed="no"> <!-- TODO - if this is being set correctly, the MSI needs to interpret it and set up the key--> <MsiProperty Name="SetLocalDb" Value="yes"/> </MsiPackage> </Chain> </Bundle> </Wix> Thanks, Mark Freedman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
