Well, at least I don't get error messages. But I get a strange result. I
can compile link the bundle and run the resulting EXE File. But the
chained MSI seams to be not installed. If I run the MSI standalone
everything works as expected.

Here are the parameters to candle and light:

candle -ext ..\WixBalExtensionExt.dll WixExtBA_Boot.wxs
Light -ext ..\WixBalExtensionExt.dll WixExtBA_Boot.wixobj

The Bundel.wxs source code is here:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
  xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension"
  xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension">
  <Bundle Name="WixExtBA_Boot" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Helge"
UpgradeCode="898e6cdc-441b-4c09-8d05-12c1692b81c0">

    <BootstrapperApplicationRef
Id="WixExtendedBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkLicense">
    </BootstrapperApplicationRef>

    <WixVariable Id="WixExtbaLicenseUrl" Value="License.htm" />

    <Chain DisableSystemRestore="yes">
      <MsiPackage Id="Setup" Compressed="yes"
SourceFile="WixExtBA_Experiment.msi" Vital="yes">
      </MsiPackage>
    </Chain>
  </Bundle>
</Wix>

When I run the resulting WixExtBA_Boot.exe I get the attached log.

What's wrong with this WixBalExtensionExt.dll? If I replace the
ApplicationRef Id to the WixStandardBootstrapperApplication and the
corresponding -ext path then the MSI gets installed.

Best regards
Helge
