[wix-users] Burn ManagedBA unable to resolve packaged .Net Framework redistributable

[Farrukh Waheed]

Hi Julius,
You may want to consider ResolveSource element i.e.
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/resolvesource.html

In your Managed BA, you may need to handle ResolveSource event handler.
When this would trigger, you can show a message and a dialog
(LocateFileDialog) to allow user to provide the location of your missing
source i.e. Net framework in your case.

Another good solution can be considered here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18969167/managed-bootstrapper-application-failed-to-resolve-source-for-file

Hope it would be some help.
