What's the point of the WixMbaPrereqPackageId and WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl wix variables? -


what's point of wixmbaprereqpackageid , wixmbaprereqlicenseurl wix variables?

<wixvariable id="wixmbaprereqpackageid" value="netfx4full" /> <wixvariable id="wixmbaprereqlicenseurl" value="netfxlicense.rtf" /> 

are required if bootstrapper application of type managedbootstrapperapplicationhost?

i've seen examples them having "netfx" values:

  • is case?
  • does imply custom bootstrapper library need .net framework pre-requisite?
  • in case can't have packagegroup exepackage .net framework installer?

if there official documentation these 2 variables, it?

  1. yes variables relevant managed bootstrapper applications.

  2. i believe can reference other package groups , include packages mba prerequisites i've never tried it.

  3. no, managed bootstrappers require .net framework. can implement native bootstrapper application (c++/com). http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/bundle/ba/

  4. remember there difference between prerequisites of installed application , prerequisites of bootstrapper itself. example, if bootstrapper gathers , validates database connection info, database's api package need installed before bootstrapper executed.

  5. not know of. wix open source, can check self.
