wix3.6

I have a WiX 3.6 bundle (using Burn ) and managed bootstrapper that install several MSI packages. Some of the packages install to a common location ( C:\program files\MyApp ). I want to let the user choose the install location inside the managed bootstrapper application ( C# WPF , especially because the application is large to install; about 1 GB). How can I specify the INSTALLLOCATION for each MSI packages inside my bundle? Bob Arnson Use an MsiProperty child for each MsiPackage to specify INSTALLLOCATION=[BurnVariable]. Then use Engine.StringVariables to set BurnVariable. For example, in

I'm trying to combine my package in a single setup EXE file and upload it to the Internet. I have created a Microsoft bootstrapper that contains Setup.exe with project MSI output, and pre-requisite .NET Framework 2.0, Windows Installer 3.1 , Visual C++ 2005 redistributables, and Microsoft ReportViewer . I have created a setup project using Visual Studio 2008 . Now I'm trying to create a single compressed setup using WiX 3.6. I have installed it in Visual Studio 2008. I have attached the setup.exe and MSI file using following commands. <ExePackage SourceFile ="setup.exe" Compressed ="yes"/>
