It sounds like a good thing to support somehow.  I'm not sure that looking for a random property, is a good way to go about it.  Can you open a bug on Source Forge to track the issue, so we don't lose it?   After that, we have this problem in a few places where pieces of data need to be c

Can you give a little more information about your requirements? The things that you're suggesting here break component rules and you should really not be doing them. The GAC is versioned, so it's possible to install more than one version of the assembly to the GAC. If the assembly was installed to

1.  I suggest removing the Sequence numbers.  Use Before/After attributes instead.    2.  I believe that AppSearch is scheduled before LaunchConditions today.  I don't think you need to sequence them or specify Overridable.  If my memory is incorrect, you can simply say "AppSearch Before

The reason we wanted this functionality is because we are trying to create wixlibs that are very specific.  So for example, I've got a wixlib and all it does is check to see if the target machine has some other application installed on it.  So here is that wxs file:

I see the problem now.  Since the AppSearch action is a standard action – the wix toolset defines the overridable sequencing for the action.  You can’t specify Overridable=”yes” because its already been declared.  You can override the standard sequencing already though, so setting the attri
