For some reason, when I make an msi build using WiX, sometimes the MSI that
comes out is missing custom actions in my InstallExecuteSequence. The custom
actions are correctly identified in the CustomActions table in Orca but in
the InstallExecuteSequence, they are not there. This doesn't happen
never mind, this was my error, i had my custom actions commented out in the
wix file...i am stupid, sorry

Hello,
I have an application that is wrapped in an MSI. It contains 1 service and 1
exectuable that is 'in use' during an upgrade.
On Windows XP, I do not get any notice/popup that the service and executable
is in use with any dialog to ask me if i want to ignore or shut it down.
On Windows 7,
that
may mean there's reference that is still looking for it.

I have a binary custom action exe. I am having a strange issue with running
this EXE during a very specific install sequence.
I have 3 MSI versions (say version 1,2, and 3).
1. I use GPO deployment for version 1. (works fine)
2. After it is successful, I do a manual install (double click on MSI
logs
indicating
SxS (side-by-side) manifest errors.
Alternately, try extracting the content from the Binary table and make
sure
there is no error and that the extracted binary isn't somehow corrupted.

When I double click on my MSI, right before the welcome dialog pops up, I get
a screen that shows some of the properties in my MSI and whether they are
TRUE or not. This screen shows really quickly (maybe .25 of a second) and
then moves on to the welcome dialog.
Any ideas what is causing this

How do I add a custom action to a WiX UI Dlg?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you could schedule a custom action that
sets the property to itself, and do a DoAction event on the Next button.

I have a filesearch action that checks for existence of a file and stores
this in a property. During the UI sequence, I have a dialog that pops up if
this file doesn't exist (it just checks the value of the property that was
set during the filesearch). However, if a user were to manually make
If I pass a property to my msi via command line, it seems like it is only

called to uninstall the old product. Is tehre any way to make this public
property pass to old msi as well?

Trust me, the *LAST* thing you want to be doing in your software
installations
those two lines above, then it moves to the
next rollback action which is Removing shortcuts.

Why not? You can patch the old MSI so that when the uninstall rolls
back, it reinstalls the driver
