[wix-users] Install an exe while my installer is running?

[Nir Bar]

I may have forgot to mention that the ExePackage should have Name="redist\NDP461-KB3102436-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe".

The fragment I have for .NET 4.6.2 looks like that:


  <Fragment>
    <util:RegistrySearchRef Id="NETFRAMEWORK45"/>


    <WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqPackageId" Value="HmNetFx462Redist" />
    <WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl" Value="$(var.NetFx462EulaLink)" Overridable="yes" />
    <WixVariable Id="NetFx462RedistDetectCondition" Value="NETFRAMEWORK45 &gt;= $(var.NetFx462MinRelease)" Overridable="yes" />


    <PackageGroup Id="MyNetFx462Redist">
      <ExePackage SourceFile="!(bindpath.REDIST)\NDP462-KB3151800-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe"
                  DisplayName=".NET 4.6.2"
                  InstallCommand="/q /norestart /ChainingPackage &quot;[WixBundleName]&quot; /log &quot;[NetFx462FullLog].html&quot;"
                  DetectCondition="!(wix.NetFx462RedistDetectCondition)"
                  PerMachine="yes"
                  Id="MyNetFx462Redist"
                  Permanent="yes"
                  Protocol="netfx4"
                  LogPathVariable="NetFx462FullLog"
                  />
    </PackageGroup>
  </Fragment>




You don't need the PropertyRef fragment- this is used in MSI packages only.
