1. Yes. Use conditions in the execute UI sequences to determine if you
should execute the action (for example, at uninstall time).
2. If you store custom action dll in the binary table using the Binary
element, the custom action is available as long as the installer is running.
3. Custom actions

(.wixlib) are processed during linking. You need variables that happen after
linking, aka binder variables (WixVariable element).

On my machine the SQL CE registry keys have a value called
'DesktopRuntimeServicePackLevel'.
Have a look under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server

Hi All,
I am writing 32 bit MSI and it has Custom Action to make some registry entries
using .reg file.
It works very well on 32 bit machine but on win7 64 bit machine the registry

My Custom Action looks like:
{
You could have two .reg files one for each situation condition the customaction
using the Msix64 property.
Having said that, would recommend you use the Wix RegistryKey/RegistryValue
instead.
