Hi All,

Directory Id='InstallDir' Name=$(var.installDir)
Directory Id=MYWEBWEBSITE Name=$(var.websiteDir)
Don't shell out to a custom application for settings. If the settings are
required for installation then gather them in a standard MSI UI or write your
own BA and pass them to the MSI as properties. Regardless of the method used,
you need to remember that silent installations will have no UI,

First of all, I don't think you can insert XML before a given node using
XmlConfig; you can only append a new child to a given parent node.

Also, there are two nodes that match your XPath expression, and XmlConfig

Is your product using conditional Features? One way that components can get
orphaned is if they belong to a Feature whose Level is 0 at time of
uninstall. Usually this happens when the intent is to install the feature

Hi,

And then later...
CustomAction Id=CopyLogFile Property=MsiLogFileLocation
The Execute element is missing in the custom action.

Thanks Pavan.
Execute is set to immediate if not specified. I explicitly set it to
immediate. Still get the same error. Setting to deferred generates the
error:
DEBUG: Error 2762: Unable to schedule operation. The action must be
scheduled between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize.

You should probably use CAQuietExec rather than ExeCommand, that way the cmd
window doesn't pop-up during installation.
This is how I run batch commands in my installer:
CustomAction Id=RunPostBatTask BinaryKey=WixCA DllEntry=CAQuietExec
Execute=deferred Return=ignore Impersonate=no/

Hi Mike,
Option 1 did not work - I got a message saying:
Failed to find snippet node //SnippetCollection//Language/SnippetDir[last()]
With option 2 (which was very promising and such a simple solution for me) I
