Is there any way to calculate elapsed execution time for the bundle installer? I have three MSIs which are chained in a single bundle installer. I want to get the total execution time for all the MSI installers which I will use to log in a text file (log file).

Thanks.

Custom Bootstrapper Application?: Strange that this is not already included in the bootstrapper. Are you using the WiX Standard Bootstrapper Application or are you using a Custom Bootstrapper Application? I have never had the time to create a proper custom bootstrapper application, but I suppose you could use a simple StopWatch if you use a .NET application? Sounds too simplistic, but maybe worth a try.

UPDATE: replaced the compressed mockup with a small ad-hoc application sample.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Threading;

namespace StopWatchTester
{
    class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
            stopwatch.Start();

            Thread.Sleep(4000); // stuff happens here

            stopwatch.Stop();

            Console.WriteLine("Time elapsed: {0}", stopwatch.Elapsed);
            Console.ReadLine(); // keep console open
        }
    }
}

Silent Burn Bundle Install?: I suppose you could kick off the whole setup.exe Burn bundle in quiet mode from your own executable and use the above code to time the execution? Running Burn-driven installer in quiet mode (command line parameters).
