[wix-users] MsiPackage/@PrereqSupportPackage

[Hoover, Jacob]

What type of prereq is this?  If it's managed, is the prereq referenced in the config for the custom managed BA?  I believe the prereq chain only kicks in when the MBA loader fails to load the MBA.

Hi

I added this attribute to an MsiPackage. The package is first in my chain and when I decompile, I can see an entry for <MbaPrerequisiteSupportPackage> in BootstrapperApplicationData.xml

The MsiPackage has no install condition and per the docs, this should cause the Prereq BA to plan the package:

>From the docs:
When set to "yes", the Prereq BA will plan the package to be installed if its InstallCondition is "true" or empty

The MSI itself only has one component - I'm trying to verify reboot behavior for a prereq in a custom BA prerequisites. However, I'm not seeing the prereq BA kicking in.

It does for the NetFx45 prereq package, which make me wonder if I'm doing something silly that's causing it to skip over my package.

I tried adding an InstallCondition, but that didn't seem to matter.

Is there something obvious I'm just overlooking?

Thanks,
Jacques
