Hi Nan,
Before running your custom action , run another custom action that will pass
that property to your custom action(set that as immediate). Something like this:
Where the value is the one that you want from the session, here I used

Hi Jacob,
Thank you for your inputs. When you say Custom BA do you mean in the
bootstrapper?
The WIX upgrade functionality does the following am assuming automatically for
us:
--Uninstall the previous version(files and registry keys)
--Use the upgrading property to run our custom actions
Pavan,
Thank you for the suggestion. But my problem is a little bit complicated.
The value I need for the custom action can be only fetched through a deferred
custom action.
I will get the value from deferred custom action. Now, I need find a way
either to pass the value back to
What else have you got in the way of searches? If this is your only
AppSearch then just have it in the Execute sequence. I've not tried
this, but AppSearch in the execute sequence should be elevated and may
be able to read that registry item.

Yes, CustomBA meaning custom bootstrapper. You would in fact be deploying
solely side by side installs with the BA knowing about all previous side by
side installs.
That being said, I would agree with John Coopers assessment of it not being a
good architecture. However you asked if it's
Hi John,
Thank you for your inputs.
Looks like things would get pretty complicated when Hotfixes and patches will
be involved.
The problem is the product architecture supports different versions residing
side-by-side. Been pulling my hair out to see how to make this work.
How about creating 2
Nan,
From where are you getting that value from?
Is it a registry value? Will be useful if you post the code you have written so
far.

Another way of looking at what John is suggesting is considering that you
probably want to take a step back a moment and focus more on version 3 and less
on version 2. You're looking at some sort of super-linear number of
installations you're going to have to support; all those permutations on
Hi Bryan,
Thank you for your inputs.
The product is installed for all users(per machine). All users have access to
any installed versions of the product on the machine. Am not sure if this will
make life easier!
The upgrade/side-by-side was being supported through Installanywhere
My thoughts were more focused on what the product actually supports in terms of
side-by-side and less of what MSI can do for you. Once you establish what the
product does, it'll be easier to model your installer better.
E.g. Visual Studio is basically sandboxed off but some features (like

Hi everyone,
I got a small problem during uninstall of my application.
If I install/uninstall just with an MSI on W7 for example, I get the
dialog that some applications must be closed before continuing install.
When I use that MSI within my burn-bootstrapper, this dialog does not
