[wix-users] 4.6 .Net Prereq and Burn

Found something interesting while testing this.  If I run the installer, it shows 4.6 install prompt then after 4.6 is installed, the installer burn UI shows up afterwards but I cancel it before installing my program, the program shows up in list of uninstall.  Attempting to uninstall shows "Install", not "Uninstall".  Apparently installing 4.6 pre-req also installs the bundle, but not the MSI.

This is what I have in the chain:
    <Chain>
      <PackageGroupRef Id="WindowsInstaller45"/>
      <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx46Web"/>
      <MsiPackage SourceFile="{PATH_TO_BASE_MSI}" Compressed="no" Vital="yes">
        <MsiProperty Name="INSTALLLOCATION" Value="[InstallFolder]"/>
        <MsiProperty Name="INSTALLLANGUAGE" Value="[InstallLanguage]"/>
        <MsiProperty Name="SKIPBACKUP" Value="[SkipBackup]"/>
      </MsiPackage>
      <MspPackage SourceFile="{PATH_TO_PATCH_MSP}" Compressed="no" Slipstream="yes" />
    </Chain>

What do I need to tweak so that if user cancels installation after 4.6's installation is done, the bundle does not get added to the list of installed programs?

Doh! I missed that when I updated from 4.5.2 to 4.6.  That did the trick!  Simon, you're awesome! Thanks! :)

What about the supported run time version in the Bootstrapper config?

    <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
      <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6" />
    </startup>

I added your line, but it still doesn't work when 4.5.2 or earlier is installed.  Again, this isn't the MSI, but burn bundle that I'm performing the 4.6 .NET prereq check/install.  This is an issue because the installer uses elements of 4.6 .NET, so it need to be installed before the bootstrapper shows up.

Thanks!

I believe that is for MSI?  I'm trying to do this with a burn bundle that wraps the MSI.  But I'll add this and give it a try.

Hi,

Have you checked the value of the WixVariable NetFx46WebInstallCondition?

I set

    <WixVariable Id=" NetFx46WebInstallCondition " Value="WIX_IS_NETFRAMEWORK_46_OR_LATER_INSTALLED <> 1"/>

Simon.

Another issue.  I updated the bootstrapper burn bundle to install 4.6 instead of 4.5.2 .NET.  However, I ran into an issue.  4.6 does not install if any version of 4.X is installed already.  Only if none of the 4.X exists, then does it prompt to install 4.6.  This isn't for MSI, but for the bootstrapper bundle.

I looked, and found previous email conversations about this, but it didn't resolve my issue.  I'm using 3.10.3 WiX, should I update to 3.11 to resolve this?  Or is this a bug?

I have this in my burn bundle:

    <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost" >
      ...
      <Payload SourceFile="NDP46-KB3045560-Web.exe" Name="redist\NDP46-KB3045560-Web.exe"/>
      ...
    </BootstrapperApplicationRef>

    <Chain>
      <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx46Web"/>
      ...
    </Chain>
