Suppressing ARP Entry for WIX Burn Bundle

2019-07-29 18:37发布

问题:

I am creating a WIX Bootstrapper using WIX Burn. The resultant bundle "exe" will be consumed by another application or rather a MetaInstaller. Now the application executes the bundle as a process with arguments but we don't want to make any entry in ARP for the bundle.

Is there any way to achieve that?

回答1:

Yes. In the Bundle element, set these attributes

<Bundle DisableRemove="yes" DisableModify="yes"

DisableRemove

If the "DisableModify" attribute is also "yes" or "button" then the bundle will not be displayed in Progams and Features

You should note, however, WiX burn is a package manager. So you should ensure that your uninstallation process invokes it to clean up the bundle and unused non-Permanent packages.
