[wix-devs] 6772 - ExePackage ARP entry

[Bob Arnson]

Very cool.

The example should be something like this, no?

<ExePackage Id="MyExe" SourceFile="my.exe" DetectCondition="MyExe_Version >= v1.2.3">
    <ArpEntry Id="MyExeGuid" Win64="no" VersionVariable="MyExe_Version" />
</ExePackage>

If QuietUninstallString doesn't exist, should it fall back to UninstallString? Should the author be able to specify the value name?

I agree that running from a non-secure location isn't great. Prohibiting it is probably the safest choice...otoh, it's probably a common case (e.g., Squirrel).

I wrote up a WIP on using an ARP entry to help detect and uninstall an ExePackage - https://wixtoolset.org/development/wips/6772-exepackage-arp-entry. Any feedback?
