No, but it depends on where all the other action are scheduled.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Changing property value at runtime
I knew that (S) and (C) had something to do with it :)
My custom action is at the end of the installsequence
<Custom Action="GEN_XLS_PATH" After="LaunchConditions"/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Something wrong with that?
Thanks for quick replies,

Notice the (s) and the (c). It appears you changed the property on the server
side of the Windows Installer and used the Property on the client side of the
install. Where did you sequence your actions ( i.e. where did you put the
Custom elements)?

Subject: [WiX-users] Changing property value at runtime
Someone please help me with the following issue?
I have this property : < Property Id ="EXCEL_PROGRAM" Value ="DUMMY.EXE"/>
And this Custom action which sets the above property
< CustomAction Id ="GEN_XLS_PATH" Return ="check" Property="EXCEL_PROGRAM"
Value="[XLSPROGPATH]Excel.exe"></ CustomAction >
There is another custom action which uses the above property
< CustomAction Id ="LaunchExcel" Property ="EXCEL_PROGRAM" ExeCommand=""
Return="asyncNoWait" />
The installation log shows the following:
...
...
...
Action start 19:08:22: LaunchConditions.
Action ended 19:08:22: LaunchConditions. Return value 1.

Property(C): INSTALLDIR = C:\Program Files\***\Addin\
Property(C): EXCEL_PROGRAM = DUMMY.EXE
Property(C): TARGETDIR = F:\

The property was changed, but still while executing LaunchExcel it is being
shown as DUMMY.EXE
Any idea what is going wrong here?
Thanks,
