[wix-users] Bootstrapper fails after upgrading from 3.9 to 3.11

Tue Jan 2 13:54:48 PST 2018

Ya....... I inherited legacy code that's used across the business in bootstrappers. We have to have that same feel across all installers. Convincing people what you suggested to do is the right thing is a very daunting task.

But I agree with you that you're right 😊

Personally I always start with the Wix Defined baseline, and just customize anything at the end (or tweak the existing messages). Your setting yourself up to have to discover the "new" loc strings that WixStdBA requires on new releases vs future proofing.

Ah. The 6 that Jacob mentioned.

Thank you for your help!!

It would have been really hard to know that these 6 are always necessary without going to the source code. Thank you for sharing that information.

Wrong impression. Some strings are used by WixStdBA itself.

Do I need every element? I was under the impression if I changed my theme file I wouldn't need all the localization elements?

Missing elements... I would diff between your WXL and the one on Github, and add any new elements that you lack.

OK slowly getting somewhere.... If I remove my localization file, but keep my theme file, it works all of a sudden. Any idea why that is?

WixStdBA and the Util extension.

Element not found.

Are you using WixStdBA or a custom BA?  Any extensions?

We are upgrading our build servers to WiX 3.11 and we have a solution that is building fine, but when we run it, nothing pops up, it just exists and the log has the following.

I have done some researching, but the only relevant information I found was this thread: http://lists.wixtoolset.org/pipermail/wix-users-wixtoolset.org/2016-March/001639.html
That thread didn't really help me, though.

Any ideas? Thank you so much.
