[wix-users] MSICLIENTUSESEXTERNALUI property?

[Reuss, Matthias]

In my Burn-driven installation, the Burn log does not mention the property, however in the MSI logs I get:

MSI (s) (18:8C) [16:09:46:032]: Command Line: (many other properties) CLIENTUILEVEL=3 MSICLIENTUSESEXTERNALUI=1 CLIENTPROCESSID=2528

So who sets it at that point?

Best regards

IIRC, it's an internal Windows Installer property that is undocumented. Burn doesn't set it.

It is probably related to MsiPackage/@DisplayInternalUI, documented in the chm, else search the wix source code.

Hello,

When installing a bundle, Burn also sets the MSI property MSICLIENTUSESEXTERNALUI.

Is there some documentation concerning its effect, especially in the case of a Burn-driven MSI installation that was not authored with WiX?

When reading through the MSI documentation for setting external UI, I cannot find such a property, so I assume it is only used by some WiX extensions, isn't it?

Best regards

Matthias
