I am using WIX for my application's setup project, I have to install device drivers along with my application setup. so I have two driver installer files for each x86 and x64 platforms (since I have to use difxapp_x64/difxapp_86 reference file I need to have two separate installation projects), and one application setup project. now based on the platform I want to call either one of the driver installer msi file and the application installer file from one Msi file ( Bootstrapper !?). How can I accomplish this ? <hr> after a bit of search i come to know in wix 3.6 there is a new tool know as 'Burn', this will help me to call collection of installation packages that are chained together.. so I have created a new setup project as Bootstrapper. but when I build its creating the msi file successfully but could not able to run it.. here is the code: <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?define version="1.3.0.3"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> <Bundle Name="Bootstrap" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Bootstrap" UpgradeCode="58A81C66-C066-4CA1-9712-D884C11C88BD"> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" /> <Chain> <ExePackage Id="ExeProject" SourceFile="../../../CCSetupProject/bin/Release/CCSetupProject.exe" InstallCommand="/q /ACTION=Install" Name="iCConnectInstaller" Vital="yes" PerMachine="yes"/> </Chain> </Bundle> </Wix> </code></pre> when I click the Bootstrapper.msi file it says "Preparing to install" and then "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." dont know what I am missing here!, anybody got this error before ?

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
