I have 3 msi's which contain the same merge module. Apart from containing components common to all 3 products, the merge module also writes an entry to the HKLM registry hive.
The first product to be installed, say Product A, will put the shared components in its own folders, and the other two products will use the same location for the shared components (even if their other components get installed elsewhere). Now if the user uninstalls the Product A I want to display a warning that certain shared components will not be removed, so that the user doesn't go and remove those files on their own and break the functionality of the other two products. What's the best way to do this? I tried using a custom action sequenced after InstallFinalize to check if the registry entry created by the merge module persists after uninstall (since that would mean at least one other product that uses it exists on the system), but I don't know how to communicate the results of the check back to Wix since I can't set a session property at that stage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
