[wix-users] Custom BA DisableModify

[Phill Hogland]

I believe that DisableModify or DisableRepair are used by Burn to configure your ARP entry, and while I don't know of any way to detect your authoring of those valuesat runtime, I think what you are really looking for is:


In OnDetectBegin  take note of e.Installed and use it to initialize your model.


In OnDetectComplete (or later) take note of the Bootstrapper.Command.Action object and process what the user indicated that they wanted (based on how Burn parsed the command line).


In your UI decide what to do, and set that PlannedAction  in your Model and then pass it as a parameter to the Engine.Plan(myPlannedAction) method.


Take a look at how these issues are addressed in the WixToolset source by reviewing the WixBA project.

Yes, I have a managed bootstrapper and want to know if the DisableModify or DisableRepair options have been set to yes.  As in:
<Bundle Name="Bundle Name" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="A.C.M.E" UpgradeCode="Some Guid" DisableModify="yes">

A workaround would be to set a variable as well and check that, but I can't imagine why I would not get that value from the bootstrapper or .Engine or somewhere.  If you are creating a custom bootstrapper having a launch window that allows you to Modify/Repair/Uninstall seems like one of the basic dialogs you have to handle.
