[wix-users] customize burn bootstrapper application

[Phill Hogland]

You can localize as desired.  Burn and the wix extensions have strings translated for cultures other than English (as folks have volunteered the translated strings):

>> I also noticed that the bootstrapper application remains open until my custom msi is finished installing (when using DisplayInternalUI=yes).
Can this be closed immedately after my msi start (which is the last in the chain)?

While using DisplayInternalUI=yes is an option it is not recommended and there are many issues that have been reported. The preference is to move you UI to Burn for a unified user experience, which has worked good for me.  Burn is not intended to be a fire-and-forget bootstrapper.  There are other choices which take that approach.  Closing Burn before the chain that it manages has completed is not an option.

Subject: [wix-users] customize burn bootstrapper application

Hi,

I'm looking into using burn as a bootstrapper application, but I can't figure out a few things.

It seems the bootstrapper is in English.
Can this be changed so that the current system-locale is used (I need different languages: french, german, english)

Is there a bootstrapper application that doesn't have a license box.
I would just need the "install", "cancel" button.
Optionally a language-combo (allthough I can probably just give the current system local as that is a property) to launch my multi-language msi

I also noticed that the bootstrapper application remains open until my custom msi is finished installing (when using DisplayInternalUI=yes).
Can this be closed immedately after my msi start (which is the last in the chain)?

Best regards
Ike Casteleyn
