Unable to define BootstrapperApplication in a .wixlib in v5.0.0

[drolevar]

In v4 I used to define a BootstrapperApplication in a wixlib as follows:

  <Fragment>
    <BootstrapperApplication Id="MyInstaller.BootstrapperApplication">
      <PayloadGroupRef Id="MyInstallerPayloads" />
    </BootstrapperApplication>
    <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication_X86" />
  </Fragment>
  <Fragment>
    <PayloadGroup Id="MyInstallerPayloads">
      <Payload Name="thm.xml" Compressed="yes" SourceFile="!(wix.WixStdbaThemeXml=res\HyperlinkTheme.xml)" />
      <Payload Name="thm.wxl" Compressed="yes" SourceFile="!(wix.WixStdbaThemeWxl=res\HyperlinkTheme.wxl)" />
      <Payload Name="logo.png" Compressed="yes" SourceFile="!(wix.WixStdbaLogo=res\colours_banner.jpg)" />
    </PayloadGroup>

    <!-- This disables license URL and license acceptance checkbox -->
    <BundleCustomDataRef Id="WixStdbaInformation">
      <BundleElement>
        <BundleAttribute Id="LicenseUrl" />
      </BundleElement>
    </BundleCustomDataRef>
  </Fragment>

And then I used it like this in my Bundle.xml:

<BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="MyInstaller.BootstrapperApplication"/>

Now building the wixlib fails with the error

error WIX0044: The BootstrapperApplication element's Name or SourceFile attribute was not found; one of these is required.

So the goal (which I had accomplished for v4 and v3) is to have a WixStandardBootstrapperApplication with a customized UI in a wixlib.

I don't think that's the right way to reference WixStandardBoostrapper. I think you want to use the WixStandardBoostrapperApplication element as a child of your BootstrapperApplication element.

[drolevar]

@robmen It does look like a logical thing to do. However, if I just write this in my Bundle.wxs, it works:

    <BootstrapperApplication>
      <bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LicenseUrl="https://www.example.com/license" Theme="hyperlinkLicense" />
    </BootstrapperApplication>

If I however do this in .wixlib

  <Fragment>
    <BootstrapperApplication Id="MyInstaller.BootstrapperApplication">
      <bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LicenseUrl="https://www.example.com/license" Theme="hyperlinkLicense" />
    </BootstrapperApplication>
  </Fragment>

and this in Bundle.xml:

    <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="MyInstaller.BootstrapperApplication" />

it compiles fine, but just doesn't work, the installer just quits silently. That is why I had the definition above for WiX 4.0 (which did work). However, it doesn't for WiX

[drolevar]

And I see why now. The first creates this in the Burn manifest:

  <UX PrimaryPayloadId="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication_X86">
    <!-- ... -->
    <Payload Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication_X86"
             FilePath="wixstdba.exe"
             SourcePath="u3"/>
    <!-- ... -->
  </UX>

While the second creates this:

  <UX PrimaryPayloadId="MyInstaller.BootstrapperApplication">
    <!-- ... -->
    <Payload Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication_X86"
             FilePath="wixstdba.exe"
             SourcePath="u3"/>
    <!-- ... -->
  </UX>

And then BootstrapperApplicationParseFromXml(...) fails to find the correct payload. So the question is how that can be alleviated.
