WIX Setup Bootstrapper: Calling the msi with command line arguments

0
votes

I use use the Wix Installer to create a setup for my application. I use the Bootstrapper for the Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 runtimes, so I get a setup.exe and a product.msi. Now I try to use the Minor Update mechanism, like described here: How to implement WiX installer upgrade?

For the minor Update I have to rum the Installer with this command:

msiexec /i SampleUpgrade.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus

How can I pass the parameter the msiexec if the user calls the setup.exe?

The linked questions only mentions Major upgrades, it doesn't mention minor upgrades or the properties mentioned in your question. – heavyd

The bootstrapper should contain the logic that determines what installers are called when. So you'll need to call msiexec yourself from within the bootstrapper.
