Thanks Brian. I've look at the ShellExecute link but not sure how I can
apply that to my wix 2.0 project. Surely there must be a simple wix command
to launch a url on uninstall, and I wondered if anyone has example code for
that?

Hi, I'm trying to determine whether msiexec was run with logging on in
one of my custom actions. The method of using MsiGetMode seemed
pretty straight forward but it is always returning false.
Just to clarify, I am calling the msi with msiexec and the /L option,
and I've determined that the MsiGet

You can put all of your "disposable" files in a component with Guid set to
empty string. That will make component unmanaged and MSI won't repair or
uninstall it. To delete files after installation use Custom Action Type 50
scheduled.

You are correct - they need to be in both according to msdn.

One other thing - the PC that the installer fails on was not 'set up' to
fail, so I'm really scratching my head over this one.

I agree DuplicateFiles does look nice but I don't know how to use it.
Does anyone know how I could implement this idea?

Are you running on Windows 2000? The Network Service account only exists on
Windows XP and above. WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE relies on a custom action in
WixUtilExtension that creates the well-known SIDs for "common" accounts, and
then uses an API call to get the localized names for them. Thi
DuplicateFiles looks nice, sequenced after InstallFiles... never used it
though.
CopyFile would probably work, but if u have a bunch of files that seems
tedious.

OK, my problem is confusing - for me anyway. I'm working on a Wix install

Hi,
I have to create a number of folders the paths of which match to some
registry settings I'm creating, I suppose that CreateFolder makes the
most sense, but it just struck me that I could create the directories
with the directory element, and then have the registry setting

no wait, I'd have to do it with a directory inside of a directory -

You could try messing around with the order of the actions in your
installexecute sequence, but you'll just cause yourself validation
problems, as well as uninstall and rollback issues so that's not a good
course of action.
You have a CA anyway to use the files so why not just delete them in
that

I don't need to move them anywhere. They just are needed to setup environment
for the program to run (installing SSL certificates among other things).
I just want to get rid of them as soon as they are done doing their thing.
Is there really no other way for that than writing a Custom Action?
>>
If you're moving the files somewhere else you could use the move files
table, or just install them straight to their final location. The remove
files action is run before install files, so you can't use that.
You could also do it in your CA if you really have to.
Cheers,
James

Not an answer to your whole question, but if you don't set the files as
keypaths of their components then the MSI won't heal when they're

The error I am getting is as follow:

If you look at the code for the "ExecSecureObjects" custom action you can see
that it uses "AclGetWellKnownSid" (which in turn calls the Windows API
AllocateAndInitializeSid) to look up the " NetworkService" SID. Is this not
what you want?
