[Request] Can you add a wiki section on how to attach debugger to the WixSharp Managed sequence

[Smurf-IV]

Is it possible to attach a debugger to the running output exe, so that things like exceptions during the protected override void Run() can be debugged ?

Are there other tips'n'Tricks on how to debug the Managed UI sequences ?

• Install
• Maintencance
• Uninstall
• Bundle equivalents for the above
• How to override a bundle downgrade detect and force an uninstall first ? (I know not really a debug, but it's a big feature in some circles ;-))

This is the chapter that describes Managed CA and also explains ho debug it.

Interestingly enough GitHub has lost there the pasted images :o) Haven't seen such problem before. Maybe maintenance or something.

It's actually simpler than debugging CA. It's not elevated so you debug it as any other managed app.
I usually place Debug.Assert(false); and then simply attach the debugger when prompted.

I thought about tips'n'tricks wiki. Bus sadly haven't done it yet. One of the users created a tips'n'tricks for performance tuning. It's referenced in the root readme

    public class ManagedBa : BootstrapperApplication

        [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")]
        private static extern bool SetProcessDPIAware();

        protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs args)
        {
            SetProcessDPIAware();   // https://stackoverflow.com/a/44839778
            Debug.Assert(false);
            base.OnStartup(args);
        }
