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

[Carlos Sosa]

Well, after trying that and couldn't get it to work, here is what I ended doing, the detection is not working 100% I think it installs no matter wat, but for now I'm ging to move on to my next step:
If anyone want to pitch in on how to fix the detection it will be appreciated.
Tnx for your help!
Best.

1.Created a Net461.wxs as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    </SetProperty>

  </Fragment>

  
  <Fragment>
    
    <util:RegistrySearch
        Id="NETFRAMEWORKVERSION"

  <Fragment>

    <WixVariable Id="NetFx461RedistDetectCondition" Value="NETFRAMEWORKVERSION >= $(var.NetFx461MinRelease)" Overridable="yes" />
    <WixVariable Id="NetFx461RedistPackageDirectory" Value="redist\" Overridable="yes" />
    <PackageGroup Id="NetFx461Redist">
      <ExePackage

          Id="NetFx461Redist"
          InstallCommand="/q /norestart /ChainingPackage "[WixBundleName]" /log "[NetFx461FullLog].html""
          RepairCommand="/q /norestart /repair /ChainingPackage "[WixBundleName]" /log "[NetFx461FullLog].html""
          UninstallCommand="/uninstall /q /norestart /ChainingPackage "[WixBundleName]" /log "[NetFx461FullLog].html""
          PerMachine="yes"
          DetectCondition="!(wix.NetFx461RedistDetectCondition)"
          Vital="yes"
          Permanent="yes"
          Protocol="netfx4" 
          SourceFile="Lib\NDP461-KB3102436-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe"
          LogPathVariable="NetFx461FullLog"
          Name="!(wix.NetFx461RedistPackageDirectory)NDP461-KB3102436-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe" Cache="yes">
       
      </ExePackage>
    </PackageGroup>
    
  </Fragment>

</Wix>

Then in my bundle:

<Chain>
      <!--PackageGroupIDfromNet461-->
      <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx461Redist"/>
      <!--MSI from Product.msi-->
      <MsiPackage SourceFile = '$(var.My_Installer.TargetPath)' Id='ABC' Vital='yes' ></MsiPackage>
    </Chain>

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.
