It would need to be a deferred action scheduled between InstallFiles and InstallFinalize, or an immediate/deferred action pair where the immediate action is scheduled as above and calls MsiDoAction (to place the deferred action into the script) on the deferred action after creating a property to feed its CustomActionData.

Well, sort of, but it appears I've made a mistake - The custom action currently is set to run after InstallFinalize, so I guess at that point, it's sealed. I need it to run after files are installed but before InstallFinalize I think... How could I configure it to do that? Thanks!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Looking for assistance using WIX to rollback an install upon failure of a custom action. If your custom action returns a failure code, the custom action is scheduled before InstallFinalize, and you have not marked the custom action to ignore the return codes, than that custom action will cause the entire transaction to rollback and return the failure. Is that what you are asking? -----Original Message----- From: michael_brindam...@dell.com [mailto:michael_brindam...@dell.com] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 12:16 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Looking for assistance using WIX to rollback an install upon failure of a custom action. Hi folks, Forgive me if this is posted on a FAQ somewhere, but after an hour or so of googling, I was unable to find the answer. I have implemented a custom action to launch an executable I install and check some connectivity prior to performing additional steps. I would like to, if said Custom Action fails, rollback the installation to that point. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Thanks!
