bootstrapper - How to avoid uninstalling previously installed ExePackage (redistributables) while installing a WiX Bundle? -
i have bundle installs , uninstalls vc 2012 redist. working fine if there no vc 2012 redist installed previously. if there vc 2012 redist installed, while uninstalling bundle, uninstalls vc 2012 redist well. want must not uninstall vc 2012 redist if installed. trying use variable element persisted attribute set "yes". not sure how works. pointers appreciated.
bundles can reference count contained packages. add provides
element wixdependencyextension
, bundles use same provides
element correct reference count.
unfortunately, vcredist doesn't document standard provides
key there no real way correctly reference count package. thus, vcredist team expects mark permanent.
