I've done some more tests and it seems that on Windows Installer 4.5 the
assembly is removed from GAC after a major upgrade.
Good to see that at least on 5.0 got fixed.

What you are seeing is the default behavior of the Windows installer UI. It
actually goes by 3 times typically, but the last one can be really fast so
you might not have noticed it. It might go by more than 3 times as well.
The only way to change that behavior is to create an external UI handler.
Hi,
I'm working with Wix 3.6, Installation goes well, but I've an issue when I try
to uninstall.
My detection process allows users to install (if package is absent) or
uninstall( if package is present). After the uninstallation, I launch my
installer in order to install again but my package
Thanks for the reply Rob,, but could you be a little more specific? Does
that mean that I need to connect to source control using TortoiseSVN and
download the source from there?

Thanks for the reply Rob.
I never used Burn. Is there any documentation explaining about creating
external UI handler?
can you please provide me any documentation related to that.
Thanks,

I have an sslConnect function which requires a file that is normally
installed before the function is called. However, due to a change in
what the client wants, I need to call the function before its
installed. Is there a way to access the file before installation? Thanks.

You could include the file as a Binary, then have a custom action call it:
Binary Id=MyEXE SourceFile=..\MyFile.exe /
CustomAction Id=DoMyThing BinaryKey=MyEXE Execute=deferred /

Thanks. I'll take a look into that. The function I'm writing that is
calling the sslConnect function is a custom action in itself. So this
shouldn't be too difficult. Hopefully.

This might sound incredibly silly, but can a custom action have more
than one BinaryKey? I currently have:
CustomAction Id=checkEmailExists BinaryKey=installerDLL
DllEntry=CheckEmailExists /
Currently, the BinaryKey here is the file that holds the custom action.
But I'm wanting to access a
I'm not sure of a way to do it in WIX. I've used Custom Actions like this
before, but always after I had put down the files they need.
Maybe you can add the pem files as resources inside the DLL? Someone else
might have a better solution though.

You can store your file in Binary table and save it from custom action to a
temporary location.
All you need is simple SQL query like:
SELECT `Data` FROM `Binary` WHERE `Name`='mybinary'
Then read record data using MsiRecordReadStream and write it to file.

A CustomAction cannot have more than one BinaryKey.
The CheckEmailExists function will need to be responsible for extracting any
resources it needs from the Binary table as well as cleanup.

Sorry, I forgot to include the code in my custom action:

installDir = (wchar_t*)malloc((bufferSize+1)*sizeof(wchar_t));

This is what I've got right now. However, if

I think the sample VBScripts in the SDK are useful to the extent that they
