WixBuild: Version 3.11.0.129

• jchoover: WIXBUG:5193 - Fix /layout default directory with clean room:

  • Attempt to use WixBundleSourceProcessPath / WixBundleSourceProcessFolder before defaulting to PathForCurrentProcess
  • Prevent trying to layout the origional bundle exe on top of the existing exe, if the path provided to layout is the same as the bundles working directory.

• BMurri: WIXBUG:5186 - Fix build warning MSB3277:

  • Starting with VSIP 10 SP1 the Assemblies directory was split into two subdirectories: v2.0 & v4.0. That change wasn't properly reflected in the code, rendering many of the various HintPaths ineffective.
  • MSBuild was picking a different version of Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommonIDE than the one most likely intended (and that particular assembly never was in VSIP 2010 SP1).
  • It's possible that the build warning could possibly mask some unexpected behaviors introduced after support for some VS post-2010 was added do to the different version of the assembly selected from the original code's assumption.

• @barnson: Make CBalBaseBootstrapperApplication::PromptCancel usefully overrideable.

  • Make cancellation related members protected rather than private so PromptCancel can be overridden to provide custom cancellation prompt UI.

• BobArnson: Change Burn's behavior to, instead of skipping all related bundles when the current bundle is embedded, skip only dependent bundles when the current bundle is a related bundle. (Burn supports embedded mode in cases other than when being executed as a related bundle.)

• BobArnson: Have Burn rewrite ARP DisplayName during modify so changes to WixBundleName are reflected in ARP.

• MikeGC: Add StrAllocConcatFormatted to concatenate a formatted string to an existing string.

• MikeGC: Add simple combo box support to ThmUtil.

• BobArnson: Add DisableVS201x properties to skip versions of VS during the build. This is useful to save build time during debugging and to diagnose codegen problems in different versions of VS.
