The condition:
Installed AND NOT REINSTALL
Would only execute on an Uninstall.

Hi,
I think Dhaval only wants its "UndoActionA" executed on removal, and not
during the installation (otherwise it will immediately undo the effects of
"ActionA", right?)
Recap: "ActionA" on install (and removal eventually)
"UndoActionA" on uninstall only
There is indeed a restriction on REMOVE property, your custom action needs
to be scheduled after "InstallValidate":

If you did it that way I think that ActionA would run both on Install AND
Uninstall. To get ActionA to run Only in install, you would condition it
like this:
<Custom Action="ActionA" After="InstallFiles">NOT Installed</Custom> <!--
Only run on Install -->
<Custom Action="UndoActionA" After="RemoveFiles">Installed AND NOT
REINSTALL</Custom> <!-- Only run on uninstallation -->
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I think that I read somewhere in one of
the WiX (or MSI?) newsgroups that you shouldn't use the REMOVE property to
condition something for uninstallation. Hope this helps.
