Open an MSI in Orca. -Original Message- From: Sean Farrow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 05:49 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How would people handle this situation Hi: When is AfterCostFinalize executed? Is it before any ui? Ideally the action needs to execute before the new installer ui is displayed and after the launch message informing the user that the old version should be removed. Is there a reference as to when each action is executed?
