Hi folks,
I am confused, I looked within the WIX userlist and Googled this but I seem
to have mixed results...
I want to run a custom action on an Upgrade only.. I currently have it as:

Installed AND SERVER_INSTALL="0"
But in some cases it is being run on a fresh install :(
I am using the
Hi Ashish,
I don't know if you can install the .Net prequisite in an MSI, however I can
tell you that all of your needs are what burn is for. You will also run into
problems if your MSI is run on a Windows 7 machine with UAC enabled, whereas if
you use burn, it will elevate your MSI for you if
OK thanks.

OK, thank you for the information.
I would like to get your thoughts on the following. For future releases of
Wix(Wix 3.8?), do you envision Burn being updated to fully support
DisplayInternalUI? Or is the real intent of Burn that the UI of the MSI should
not be used, and that the UI should b

My installation is installing a web application that is dependent on .NET
Framework v4 FULL. One of the actions I take during the installation is to
confirm that .NET Framework v4 is registered with IIS. I do this with the
"aspnet_regiis" utility. However this utility requires "run as adminis

Are you using a different version of the WiX toolset to patch than what was
used to build the MSIs? That's not technically supported since there are a
lot of fine details that can go awry. However, that error message is not
terribly helpful and a bug certainly would in order for it.

turns out it was "the" version number idiocy of msi kindly disregarding the
fourth version code.
the only thing baffling us is why it worked up untill recently...
anyway, thanks for all the suggestions!

In WiX v3.7 the OnDetectBegin() passes in an "Installed" flag. I believe
(you'll want to verify) that is false in this case.

The decision is simple: Do you want more control over the user experience
than what the wixstdba (or any other BA out there) offers?
For example, try installing Visual Studio 2012. That UI is definitely not
the wixstdba.

Ahh, yeah, that makes sense. I think this is another of those cases like
the progress bar not showing correctly for DisplayInternalUI='yes' on
MsiPackages that isn't handled well in Burn today. As you've undoubtedly
noted showing internal UI from Burn was not a high priority item in the
initial rel
I'm not terribly happy with any of the options available today.

In OnPlanPackageBegin, the value of the State is already set to "Present" when
the event is invoked. So the question is, what value do I change it to in
order to have the MSI run and for the MSI's UI to be displayed? I tried
setting the State to RequestState.Repair, and while this did run the
