  • SeanHall: WIXFEAT:5195 - BREAKING CHANGE Changed bundle version to Major.Minor.0.BuildNumber. This allows us to publish updates as Major.Minor.(GreaterThanZero).BuildNumber. MSI product version numbers remain Major.Minor.BuildNumber so major upgrades continue to work. This bundle will not upgrade from build v4.0.4305.0.

  • SeanHall: WIXBUG:4810 - Fix bug where mbapreq tried to do something other than HELP or INSTALL.

  • SeanHall: WIXBUG:5234 - Make Burn grab a file handle to the original bundle so it can still access compressed payloads even if the original bundle was deleted after initialization (e.g. when a bundle uses Burn's built-in update mechanism). Also, when launching the clean room Burn process, pass a file handle of the original exe to the process on the command line. Use this file handle when using the attached container.

  • SeanHall: WIXBUG:5238 - Get the engine's file handle as soon as possible. Also, when launching Burn processes, pass a file handle of the exe to the process on the command line.

WixBuild: Version 4.0.3922.0

WixBuild: Version 4.0.3826.0

  • @barnson: Add support for command links to ThmUtil.

    • ThemeControlExists should take a const THEME*.
    • ThemeSetTextControlEx exposed clunky fInvalidateControl and fInvalidateParent arguments in an attempt to force controls to redraw. Replace with fUpdate more generically and, hidden in the code, hide and show the control, which we found to be the cleanest way of getting transparent text redrawn over a graphical background.

  • SeanHall: WIXBUG:4857 - Fix DTF custom actions in Win10 Apps and Features.

  • SeanHall: Make VS2015 C++ custom action project template reference VS2015 WiX libs.

  • @barnson: Add ThemeGen utility, which generates the control and page arrays to simplify control and page management for ThmUtil.

  • BMurri: WIXBUG:5186 - Fix build warning MSB3277:

    • Starting with VSIP 10 SP1 the Assemblies directory was split into two subdirectories: v2.0 & v4.0. That change wasn't properly reflected in the code, rendering many of the various HintPaths ineffective.
    • MSBuild was picking a different version of Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommonIDE than the one most likely intended (and that particular assembly never was in VSIP 2010 SP1).
    • It's possible that the build warning could possibly mask some unexpected behaviors introduced after support for some VS post-2010 was added do to the different version of the assembly selected from the original code's assumption.

  • MikeGC: Add StrAllocConcatFormatted to concatenate a formatted string to an existing string.

  • BobArnson: Have Burn rewrite ARP DisplayName during modify so changes to WixBundleName are reflected in ARP.

  • BobArnson: Change Burn's behavior to, instead of skipping all related bundles when the current bundle is embedded, skip only dependent bundles when the current bundle is a related bundle. (Burn supports embedded mode in cases other than when being executed as a related bundle.)

  • @barnson: Make CBalBaseBootstrapperApplication::PromptCancel usefully overrideable.

    • Make cancellation related members protected rather than private so PromptCancel can be overridden to provide custom cancellation prompt UI.

  • @barnson: Add FormatFiles custom action from FireGiant.

    • FormatFiles element as a child of File schedules a custom action to format the file's content at install time (using Formatted data type rules).
    • Adds PSCZ C++ class to DUtil for automatic memory management for LPWSTR strings.

  • @barnson: Adding some useful WcaUtil functions from FireGiant.

    • Add QuietExecCapture to get process output as a string.
    • Add WcaExtractBinaryToBuffer, WcaExtractBinaryToFile, and WcaExtractBinaryToString to extract content from the Binary table.

    • ThmUtil: Automatically localize controls if their name is the same as a .wxl loc string id.

  • SeanHall: Change the interface between the Burn engine and BA's by moving to messages instead of COM interfaces.
