bootstrapper

I've created a simple Windows Form Application using VS2012 and I'm trying to install it to an XP machine. Unfortunately I get the following error message: setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. Admittedly, I did use the .net 4.5 framework which is an issue on XP machines. But I have now created a test application using .net 2.0 and get the same problem. I'm developing the app on a win7 x64 machine and tried setting the platform to x86 in the configuration manager with out any joy. Is this me or VS 2012? I've managed to install a test app using VS2010? I had a similar issue when I tried

I have a few component MSI packages that need to installed together to form the end application. The problem is: the components that make up the package can be updated and the component relaunched on the http file server. What approach should I take? The installer that I am writing is the 'master' installer. Which needs to be able to read what version of each component is installed on their client machine in order to perform an upgrade only on that one component. Also if the application is installed for the first time the installer will download and install all required components. I am using

I am using Wix 3.7. I am trying to create wix burn bootstrapper that install my msi. I have added two buttons in my BA UI for Install and Cancel. i am using C# for BA UI design. I have added the follwoing code in Install button for launch installation. MySampleBA.Model.Engine.Detect(); MySampleBA.hwnd = IntPtr.Zero; MySampleBA.Model.Bootstrapper.PlanBegin += this.PlanBegin; MySampleBA.Model.Bootstrapper.DetectPackageComplete += this.DetectedPackage; MySampleBA.Model.Bootstrapper.DetectComplete += this.DetectComplete; MySampleBA.Model.Bootstrapper.PlanPackageBegin += this.PlanPackageBegin;

I have created a setup and deployment project for my .Net 4 app in VS 2010. In my prerequisites i have checked .Net4 prerequisite but i have learned that .Net4 has left out WIC (Windows Imaging Component) to make it light. When i run my setup in Vista/Win7 the Net4 installation does not give error for WIC but when i install it in XP it gives error for WIC. Then i have to install WIC manually first and then run my setup. I need a bootstrapper for WIC which runs before .Net4 installation in XP. Please suggest how it can be done or a link for it. Thanks in Advance. I've faced this annoying

We are trying to get a custom .NET Bootstrapper to selectively install features in an MSI package through our WiX installer. Having registered to the event PlanMsiFeature we thought that we would be able to access the features in our MSI and exclude certain features based upon preset conditions. The event, however, never appears to be invoked. Has anybody managed to use this event successfully? Many thanks. We solved this issue. There were a couple of key items missing. 1) In the Bundle that contains our application, the MSI Package was required the following attribute. EnableFeatureSelection=

There are many incomplete questions and answers about how to download and install .NET Framework(s) if they are not available but none complete code seems to be available on Internet. Can you provide a minimal compilable code or a link to a clear example that generates a setup.exe/MSI? I don't think RTFM applies to this question since MSI and bootstrap installers has a lot of idiosyncrasies that are not easily deductible.

I'm aware of similar questions in WiX MSI, but I'm having issues starting an application within a bootstrapper EXE file created with Burn after the installation. My full bundle is below. If it makes any difference to the scenario, the bootstrapper is started in passive mode, so the user shouldn't need to press anything. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi" xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension" xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"> <Bundle Name="My Company AutoUpdater" Version="1.0.11"

I've a burn installation whereby the user can select which of three options to install - each one directly relates to one of three MsiPackages in a chain, such as : <Chain> <MsiPackage SourceFile="..\ProductA\bin\Release\ProductA.msi" InstallCondition="chkProductA" /> <MsiPackage SourceFile="..\ProductB\bin\Release\ProductB.msi" InstallCondition="chkProductA" /> <MsiPackage SourceFile="..\ProductC\bin\Release\ProductC.msi" InstallCondition="chkProductC" /> </Chain> All fine. However, when I run the msi next time, I only want to re-install/update the items that were selected originally - ie if
