Unpack WIX Burn bundle

Question

Is it possible to somehow unpack a bundle? I need to make sure all packages within a bundle are signed correctly...

TIA

Answer 1

Run the installer with the argument -layout and it should download or extract (as appropriate) the packages that it contains to the directory the installer is in. You can specify a target directory as a second argument if you wish.

This was tested with a bundle created with version 3.6.2520.0. It is known to be broken on the current weekly release of wix36.exe itself.
