[wix-users] No-UI bundle

Tue Aug 30 12:52:47 PDT 2016

When you install the MSI via the bundle, then by default it will hide the MSI ARP entry so that the Bundle is the only one visible.  When you invoke a modify or repair from ARP, it will invoke your bundle.

I already have the UI complete (mostly) for the MSI, but I am not against trying it.  What happens when you call repair/change/uninstall?  Does it call the bundle setup.exe from Programs and Features or does that revert to the internal MSI UI again?

If you're going to spend the time to write a custom BA, why would you want to use the MSI UI?  The DisplayInternalUI option has issues, and there is no one on the core wix-dev's team that has a passion to work on it.  

You have the opportunity to do so much more in a custom BA with the UI, and simplify your MSI authoring by just property driving your MSI.

I used that blog and https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bryanpjohnston.com_2012_09_28_custom-2Dwix-2Dmanaged-2Dbootstrapper-2Dapplication_&d=CwICAg&c=IV_clAzoPDE253xZdHuilRgztyh_RiV3wUrLrDQYWSI&r=oAJIeMTNC3Z6LlnozAjna4bWEZCGLInzcwB6EkZAFeU&m=m7ZCKbAvZ5DcBd98AcwvcIBO4FhTftdTjzfP5hi0Hd0&s=lAj5DOlyWA9UDXJelcmJT4GC27ePX7PsnjyX9QZDe68&e=  to get this far.  That's when you have an actual UI running.  I just want the bootstrapper to hang around until the end or quit, but let the MSI's UI run through.  Literally all I want from this thing is to call the MSI with a custom log file name/location, that's it. Actually, I will probably also add a prerequisite for .net 4.6.1 on there as well.  Point is, the main reason I need the bootsrtapper is because you cannot modify the logging options once you are in the MSI code.
