This works IF ' path\for\layout' is not the same as the path to the bundle that is being launched.  A subfolder of the bundles location or a completely different path works, but my archive script was doing:

call "%_path%%product%.exe" -layout "%_path%

And since I just ran the script on many bundles and cut the archive media, I had not noticed that the -layout does not bring the files down to the same folder as the bundle is in.

Changing to specify a subfolder got us going again.

Passing the path to -layout does work.  I'll test WixBundleSourceProcessPath.

Sigh. Bigger sigh. 

I know we tested this, at least, once... but probably before fixing XP or something.  

Sigh.

Can't use WixOriginalSource. That could be set to wrong place if bundle is already installed. Probably just need to add WixBundleSourceProcessPath to the default layout directory.

Fortunately, if you do "-layout path\for\layout" that should still work (haven't tested it today, yet). Maybe that's what was tested and the default wasn't.

Sigh.

Makes sense since the executable is now running from a different  location from OriginalSource.  May need to use WixOriginalSource instead of a call to CurrentDirectory.

It seems layout is broken with 3.10.2, as the payload goes to the .cr instead of the original exe location.  Can anyone else confirm this?

Thanks,
Jacob
