[wix-users] mba: How to 'skip' a package in the Apply phase?

[Phill Hogland]

Sean thanks for the feedback.  In view of this I will probably move the 'resources' into a separate addon bundle, which my QA team seems to like better anyway.

Burn isn't designed for the BA to make those kind of decisions during the
Apply phase, the BA is supposed to be able to figure it out during
Planning. Theoretically, your BA could install the driver in one
Detect/Plan/Apply cycle and then do another Detect/Plan/Apply cycle for the
rest.
