Uncompressed bundle doesn't need two-step signing #8829

Open petm2022 opened 2 weeks ago

petm2022 commented 2 weeks ago

WiX Version

5.0.2

.NET or MSBuild or Visual Studio Version

Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2022 (64-bit) - LTSC 17.10

HeatWave Version

1.0.4.5

Windows Version

Win11 23H2

Repro Repo

No response

Repro Steps

  1. Build a managed bootstrapper application with no packages embedded in the bundle
  2. Detach the engine from the bundle using command Wix burn detach burn.exe -engine burnengine.exe.
  3. Compare burn.exe and burnengine.exe

Actual Result

The two files burn.exe and burnengine.exe are identical.

Expected Result

I did expect that the engine was different from the bundle.

Otherwise I would expect that the documentation for command Wix burn detach describe this scenario and that the documentation of Signing bundles will explain that detach/reattach is not needed under some circumstances.

Not required but not harmful. Doc could offer the short circuit.
