burn

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. The reason for this is because I'm using <Chain> to install some pre-requisites and then an msi that actually installs my exe. So to do this, the msi is writting the path to a known location in the registry, and then the bootstrapper reads it and uses it. The problem is that when the bootstrapper reads the registry, the msi hasn't run yet, so

I have a Burn bundle with this chain: <Chain> <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40Web"/> <MsiPackage SourceFile="c:\\My\\Path\\MyMsi.msi" Id="MyMsi" DisplayName="MyMsi" DisplayInternalUI="yes" Vital="yes"> <MsiProperty Name="INSTALLLOCATION" Value="[InstallFolder]" /> </MsiPackage> </Chain> Both .NET framework and my MSI files are installed correctly. But the MSI package is not uninstalled during uninstall procedure (both after clicking on the bootstrapper EXE or from Programs And Features). Is there some way how to force uninstalling the MSI package? Burn will create a log file with detailed

I have a custom burn bootstrapper application with localization in german (BurnUI_de-DE.wxl) and english (BURNUI_en-US.wxl). At present burn automatically starts in english. I don't know how to change the UI language at run time. The UI parts are designed in MVVM pattern and have a language selection drop down. I have a variable to detect the systemlanguageID like this <Variable Name="INSTALL_LANG" bal:Overridable="yes" Type="string" Value=[SystemLanguageID]"/> Everything is in place. Now, how do I use this variable and instruct the burn engine to change the language? Furthermore, any best

The situation: I have a WIX-based bootstrapper installer, which installs my msi package and (some) prerequisites (.NET). The installer is .exe and it works ok. Now, some clients want to install msi, especially in corporate environments where they can push it centrally. It looks easy, just give them the msi. Again, It works ok. Now, the problematic part. When the application is installed from MSI, and later upgraded to newer version from .exe installer, there will be two ARP entries. And vice-versa - when the application is installed from .exe, and later upgraded from MSI, there will be double
