Communication with WiX Burn bootstrapper using embedded pipe

阅读更多关于 Communication with WiX Burn bootstrapper using embedded pipe

I'm working on a application, which works on top of WiX bundle, and communicates via embedded pipe (by utilizing ManagedBundleRunner) and receives progress and error updates. Currently I use the standard WiX bootstrapper. However, I will be creating custom managed bootstrapper to implement custom behavior. Part of this new behavior is a bidirectional communication of my application with the bootstrapper. After exploring WiX source (especially Burn engine), I've come up with two approaches: 1) create pipe inside managed bootstrapper and communicate with the application using custom protocol 2)

WiX Burn: Reading LaunchTarget from Registry

阅读更多关于 WiX Burn: Reading LaunchTarget from Registry

问题 I'm new with WiX, and I'm trying to have my Bootstrapper launch my installed application when it completes. To accomplish this, I'm using <Variable Name="LaunchTarget" Value="path_to_exe"/> However, it is not easy for me to get the path to the executable.

阅读更多关于 WiX ManagedBootstrapper SetDownloadSource confusion

I am a bit confused by the method Engine.SetDownloadSource(). What I am trying to do is change the download URL for the bundled packages from an external website to an internal one. (If there is an easier way to do this, I am open to other suggestions). Now for the problem. When calling this method it is asking for a user and password. I am not sure where I should get this info from. string downloadSource = Path.Combine(WebSitePath(), "WebSetup/WebSetupData/", Path.GetFileName(args.DownloadSource)); Engine.SetDownloadSource(args.PackageOrContainerId, args.PayloadId, downloadSource, user,

I am writing a Bootstrapper Application and want to create the UI for it using the WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.
