Re: [WiX-devs] Optional command line arguments WIP updated

[Hoover, J. <Jac...@gr...>]

The way I read it was

    <ExePackage RepairCommand="" UninstallCommand="/uninstall">
       <CommandLine OnInstall="yes" OnRepair="yes" Conditon="VarX=1">/foo /bar</CommandLine>
       <CommandLine OnUninstall="yes" Conditon="VarY=9">/notfoo</CommandLine>
    </ExePackage>

I like this. I could really use a couple examples (sorry, "visualizing" changes is easiest way for me to understand)

So you are suggesting the following:

    <ExePackage RepairCommand="" UnisntallCommand="/uninstall">
       <CommandLine InstallArgument="/foo /bar"  RepairArgument="/foo /bar"  Conditon="VarX=1" />
       <CommandLine UninstallArgument="/notfoo" Conditon="VarY=9" />
    </ExePackage>

That would match our use of InstallCommand, RepairCommand, UninstallCommand and probably avoid the use of the WixBundleExecutePackageAction 90+% of the time.

If so, I *really* like this.

You can see the diff via pull request at https://github.com/wixtoolset/site/pull/50.

I'm strongly leaning toward the "package action variable." It's simple to implement and basically solves the problem adding this functionality to MsiProperty.

Feedback sought and welcomed.
