[wix-users] Bootstrapper does not wait for bundle to be installed

[Ивайло Гугалов]

I am subscribing to the ExecutePackageComplete event to determine when the
exe package has been installed or uninstalled.
I see that the event is immediately raised after the action has started and
after that some registry keys are removed before shutting down the BA.
The exit code is: 0x0

The case is the same with uninstallation as well.

It’s not running a different exe inside and exiting earlier.

You need a few more lines of the log to see if it waited or not, and what
it’s exit code was.



Is it possible your exe package it running a different exe and exiting
early?

Hi Sean,

I just have a Bundle element with an ExePackage inside:

<ExePackage ....
InstallCommand="/S
/V"UPGRADEADD="[UpgradeUrl]" MSIINSTALLPERUSER="1"
/qn""
UninstallCommand="/I /X /quiet /uninstall"
Cache="no"
Permanent="no"
PerMachine="no"
DetectCondition="IsInstalled" />

Here is the log:

[2008:2284][2021-03-29T07:11:45]i301: Applying execute package: AppName,
action: Install, path: C:\Users\Ivaylo\AppData\Local\Package
Cache\C6E07249B0721D7FFCAEA34F379A6EA49A670993\AppName.exe, arguments:
'"C:\Users\Ivaylo\AppData\Local\Package
Cache\C6E07249B0721D7FFCAEA34F379A6EA49A670993\AppName.exe" /S
/V"UPGRADEADD="upgradeUrl" MSIINSTALLPERUSER="1" /qn"'

Uninstallation is also not waiting for the exe to finish removing itself
(the uninstallation of the exe package is even breaking for some reason)
and the UI of the exe package is showing:

[1B7C:23B8][2021-03-29T07:50:53]i301: Applying execute package: AppName,
action: Uninstall, path: C:\Users\Ivaylo\AppData\Local\Package
Cache\C6E07249B0721D7FFCAEA34F379A6EA49A670993\AppName.exe, arguments:
'"C:\Users\Ivaylo\AppData\Local\Package
Cache\C6E07249B0721D7FFCAEA34F379A6EA49A670993\AppName.exe" /I /X /quiet
/uninstall'

Regards,
Ivaylo
