An alternative approach that may be possible (not sure since I don't have details on your situation) is to not use the feature tree. Assuming the user doesn't need as fine-grained control as the feature tree, you could have a different selection mechanism (like a radio button group) and you can se

Re: [WiX-users] Sequencing issue
Are the files GACed assemblies or just normal files? If they are normal
files then you can just schedule your CA after InstallFiles. What does your
CA do?

It doesn't matter if you get it to run when you want, if you sequence it after
InstallFinalize you
can't roll back the install. That action commits everything to the system, so
to remove it you'd be

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to get a custom action DLL execute after the files from the msi have
been installed. No problem there - I can put it after InstallFinalize and it
works fine. But I need the install to roll-back if there is an error code
generated by the DLL. If I try and sequence it after

I am currently building a set of installers (all look like each other,
