[WiX-users] ifndef not working
I have wxs include the following: ?ifndef $(env.Version)? ?define version = 1.0.0.0 ? ?endif ? ?ifdef $(env.Version)? ?define version=$(env.Version)? ?endif? I expect the version will be 1.0.0.0 if environment variable Version is not defined and When environment variable Version is defined for example 2.0.0.0, the version will be the 2.0.0.0. However, I always get 1.0.0.0, no matter what the value of the environment variable Version is. Can someone please let me know how to fix it?

[WiX-users] custom action from network share doesn't work
Hello, In my Wix, I searched for the registry to find the path for a exe, I then call this exe in my custom action [EXEDIR] the.exe. The custom action worked fine when running the msi from my local machine - return 1. However, when running from a network share, it failed - returned 1603. Should I use [#EXEDIR] or [!EXEDIR] to get it work from the network share(I tried, didn't work)? Or have I have to write a custom action for that?

What type of custom action are you using? The proper return value depends on the type. If MSI is logging a 0, then it couldn't execute the CA. It's type 2 custom action. I'm sure it ran successfully, because it has command line window(I haven't silent it yet), it said ... successfully. When run separately from the command line window, the errorlevel is 0. On the contrary, if it didn't run(strangely, this happens when I set the rollback attribute), it returned 1 in the msi log file. - When use AsyncWait it didn't give error dialog. When use check, it gave the error dialog. Which error dialog?
