Re: [WiX-users] Feature selection and CustomAction commandline
Thanks, I did some search on the net as I didn't get any response from wix for a while. This is how I was able to fix I used a SetProperty as recommended by Sebastian Brand SetProperty Id=SERVERVALUE Value=2 After=CostFinalizeINSTALLTYPE=CompleteWorkstation/SetProperty I even tried to display that value which was correct then use this custom action to execute the application CustomAction Id=ExecuteTools FileKey=caAutoCreateUpdateDB.exe ExeCommand=[SERVERVALUE] Execute=immediate Impersonate=no Return=asyncWait HideTarget=no/ Which work fine. Hope this helps someone. Now, if only someone can tell how to set BootStrapper sequence it would be great.
