Wix burn does not display multiple entries in ARP

Question

I use Wix 3.7 burn to install prereq (Windows Installer 4.5, .NET 3.5, SQL Server 2008 R2 and Sync Framework 2.1) before installing my two MSI products.

Although all prereqs have entries in Add or Remove Programs (ARPs), there are no ARP entries for my MSI product. There is only one entry, and it has a bootloader.

Is there a way to only display entries for my MSI product instead of a bootloader?

Answer 1

Your package must be registered in ARP so that the user can delete it and clear the package cache that Burn supports. You can also show your MSI in ARP if you want by setting the Visible attributes to "yes".
