Hi John, Thank you for your nice reply.
Unfortunately, "MyCA" is called again, when I set <Custom Action="MyCA" After="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed AND NOT PATCHFOUND</Custom> How can I stop calling MyCA during Upgrade?

Betreff: Re: [WiX-users] How to create the installation package,which is able to upgrade According to the docs, UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is set during a removal. When I've done this before, I've always used the properties set in the <Upgrade> elements - in your case, PATCHFOUND. So maybe try this: <Custom Action="MyCA" After="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed AND NOT PATCHFOUND</Custom> (not sure what happens with the NEWER case - I guess you're throwing an error or something there to prevent downgrades). Also, I usually put the logical cases in all caps - e.g NOT rather than not. 2009/8/5 Jiang, Chunyan (GE Healthcare) <chunyan.ji...@ge.com>: > Hi Peter, > > I still have the problem about custom action.
