Getting Display Name from PackageID

Looking through the source of the Wix Standard Bootstrapper application, it appears that each package has a DisplayName property:

pPackage->sczDisplayName

However, the BootstrapperCore dll that is used in the WiX Setup project does not have this property. Is there any way to extract this property from the bundles in managed code?

I ported the Bal code into C#, trying to make it work exactly like the C++ code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.XPath;

public class BootstrapperApplicationData
{
    public const string defaultFileName = "BootstrapperApplicationData.xml";
    public const string xmlNamespace = 
        "http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2010/BootstrapperApplicationData";

    private static DirectoryInfo defaultFolder;
    public static DirectoryInfo DefaultFolder
    {
        get
        {
            if (defaultFolder == null)
            {
                defaultFolder = (new FileInfo(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)).Directory;
            }
            return defaultFolder;
        }
    }

    private static FileInfo defaultFile;
    public static FileInfo DefaultFile
    {
        get
        {
            if (defaultFile == null)
            {
                defaultFile = new FileInfo(Path.Combine(DefaultFolder.FullName, defaultFileName));
            }
            return defaultFile;
        }
    }

The BootstrapperApplicationData.xml file that is generated during the build process is placed next to your BA .dll. You can load that XML file to get lots of information about the bundle and packages in the bundle.

To load the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml in native code, use the BalManifestLoad() method in balutil.lib that is provided with the WiX toolset. You can see the code in src\ext\BalExtension\balutil\balutil.cpp. Then you can use BalInfoParseFromXml() also in balutil.lib to parse the XML file into a bunch of handy structs. You can see the code in src\ext\BalExtension\balutil\balinfo.cpp.
