Can't you "read" and serialize the key into temporary rows in the Registry
table? That wouldn't have to run after InstallInitialize.
The "canonical" way to deal with your situation is to use a bootstrapper
that forces an update to the broken installation that changes the registry
action value, and
Short answer: Not directly.
Long answer: If something is vital, or if the user cancels a prompt to retry
the operation, its failure is fatal. Otherwise it's ignorable.
Custom actions can be treated as either vital (e.g. Return="check") or
ignored (e.g. Return="ignore"). Files can be marked as vit
Please help, guys.
I screwed up badly and need to fix this before the problem gets worse.
My current idea is to run a custom action before upgrade that stores the
registry key in a file and then another action after the uninstall to restore
the key. I have implemented the custom actions, but I'

Hi folks,
I've only ever used WiX for simple installers before, with no UI customisation.

"asyncWait" means start the action and move on with the sequence, but don't
let the entire installation transaction end until the action has ended. I
think you want "check", which would not let the sequence continue with the
next action until your action ends.

Why not just install and launch your configuration utility to configure, on
first installation? Then you don't:
1. complicate your installation with rerunning it for configuration, and
2. duplicate code.

What you should look at is both the Application and the System event logs.

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask your opinions on one topic.

InstallExecuteSequence is always called. However when running with full

which is why your code is working now. When running with basic (/qb) or
