Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Obtaining a property and running an exe if,and only if a property contains a value Hi Sean, To get the registry values use the <RegistrySearch> element to set the value to a property. Then use a <CustomAction> with a condition using that property. Schedule that custom action after InstallInitialize in the InstallExecuteSequence.

What is the best way of doing this?
