Joe Try looking at the SKIPCONFIGUREIIS property (its part of WIX), this is how I stop the installer from doing the IIS Custom action if MainComponent is not selected.
<!-- Suppress the IIS CA if we are not installing the web site --> <CustomAction Id="SkipIISCA" Property="SKIPCONFIGUREIIS" Value="1"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="SkipIISCA" After="CostFinalize"><![CDATA[NOT &MainComponent=3 AND NOT !MainComponent=3]]> </Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> -----Original Message----- From: Joe Osman [mailto:joe.os...@tait.co.nz] Sent: Wednesday, 18 February 2009 11:13 AM To: General discussion for Windows InstallerXMLtoolset. Subject: [WiX-users] How to skip a custom action when feature not selected My installer creates a website during the product installation. I would like to add a feature to the installer to enable the user to skip the website creation and I thought about using something similar to that: <Custom Action="ConfigureIIS" Overridable="yes">NOT Installed AND <![CDATA[&IISFeature=3]]></Custom> But I get an error message saying that a Custom element must have a Before attribute, After attribute, or a Sequence attribute. I don't want to change the sequence of this action and I really don't care what is the sequence. All I want to do is to skip the creation of the website by skipping the custom action ConfigureIIS. Do you have any other idea? ======================================================================= This email, including any attachments, is only for the intended addressee.
