[wix-users] ARP Bundle Repair Failure

[Colin Sim]

I'm looking for advice on how to properly handle a bundle repair that's triggered via ARP (i.e. user selects change option, which triggers custom managed bootstrapper that provides an option to repair the bundle). The default implementation produces an error about not being able to resolve original bundle source:

[0174:02A8][2019-07-26T23:26:15]w341: Prompt for source of container: WixAttachedContainer, path: \\aklcolins\Source\trunk\Installers\Packages\IPFX Clients.exe
[0174:02A8][2019-07-26T23:26:15]e054: Failed to resolve source for file: \\aklcolins\Source\trunk\Installers\Packages\IPFX Clients.exe, error: 0x80070002.

The full log is attached.

I've considered the option of prompting the user to supply the bundle; however:

1.      How do I detect that the action is triggered via ARP as opposed to through source bundle EXE?

2.      What happens if the user provides an "invalid" bundle, e.g. wrong file, wrong version, etc?
