Re: [WiX-users] How do I override an imported .wixlib file's actions?
The DIFxApp.wixlib file was pretty short so I reverse-engineered it into code that I put directly into my .wxs file. This appears to work. Thanks for your help. --Quinton From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2007 2:03 PM To: Quinton Tormanen Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How do I override an imported .wixlib file's actions?

There's no way to do that in WiX v2 authoring. WiX v3 supports it but it took a substantial change to do so. You can post-process your .msi package to add conditions to your InstallExecuteSequence table using SQL queries.
