Command line reference for bundles built with WiX3

[cz-dev-ge]

Hi there,

I can't seem to find the documentation of command line parameters available for bundles built with WiX 3. For example when calling my bundle with MyBundle.exe -forcerestart that -forcerestart is ignored completely.

Could you please point me in the right direction?

Best regards,
Georg

Edit: Attached a log. Tried to remove irrelevant stuff.

The BootstrapperApplication decides what switches are available.

[cz-dev-ge]

I am using the standard one but can't find which switches it supports. I found this question on StackOverflow but according to it the standard bootstrapper should support -forcerestart already.

[cz-dev-ge]

btw. my log shows I used -passive -forcerestart

[barnson]

WixStdBA only restarts if the chain requires it, even with -forcerestart.

[cz-dev-ge]

I understand. Thank you.

Could you point me somewhere I can look up what switches are supported and how?
