[wix-users] Run Burn Boostrapper or the MBA Elevated

[Huy Doan]

One more question on this. How can I pass the PREV-BUNDLE-ID? It tried to make it a Burn variable and set in during the DetectRelatedBundle event but it does not work. Below is the portion of the log.

[13A0:0DCC][2016-07-14T16:16:14]i600: LaunchApprovedExe begin, id: PreviousVersion

I think that's something I'm looking for :D. I had an insight from Rob's hint but was not quite sure how to implement it. Your solution was something I pictured in mind. Thank you so much, Sean.

The old bootstrapper is a bundle that's already installed, right?  So it should be in the package cache, which is a secure location for ApprovedExeForElevation.  I'm not saying that it's not a pain to do it this way, but it is possible to manually launch the old bootstrapper elevated without showing multiple UAC prompts.

<ApprovedExeForElevation Id="PreviousVersion"
Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{PREV-BUNDLE-ID}"
Value="BundleCachePath" />

Engine.LaunchApprovedExe(hWnd, L"PreviousVersion", L"/repair", 0)
