[wix-users] Modify Mode

[Vanniekerk, Tyrel (GE Healthcare)]

Hi,

Just checking to be sure I am not missing something.  To get a custom bootstrapper to call my non-UI MSI again, the only way to do that is change it to be repair mode.  Is that correct?


        private void OnPlanPackageBegin(object sender, PlanPackageBeginEventArgs e)
        {
            if (Bootstrapper.Model.Engine.StringVariables.Contains("MbaNetfxPackageId") && e.PackageId.Equals(Bootstrapper.Model.Engine.StringVariables["MbaNetfxPackageId"], StringComparison.Ordinal))
            {
                e.State = RequestState.None;
            }
            else if (e.PackageId == "MuseSetup.msi")
            {
               if (Bootstrapper.Model.PlannedAction == LaunchAction.Modify)
                {
                    e.State = RequestState.Repair;
                }
            }
        }

If I leave the state as Present, then the bootstrapper just sees it as present and does not run it, ie it does not run the MSI in modify mode.

Thanks,
Tyrel
