Re: [WiX-users] How to access BootstrapperApplicationdata.xml from wix extension

[Rob M. <ro...@fi...>]

I'm very confused. This FireGiant KB article (https://support.firegiant.com/entries/24024258-The-four-phases-of-build-time-in-the-WiX-toolset-) talks about preprocessing before compiling. The BootstrapperApplicationData file is generated during the binding phase.

Your BA can access the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml and Bundle Variables during "install time" (https://support.firegiant.com/entries/24015917-Build-time-install-time-and-run-time-defined-). 

But, I'm confused so maybe those pieces of information are totally not helpful.
