I changed the first InstallExecuteSequence to <Custom Action="CAInstall" After="InstallFiles">NOT Installed</Custom>
Now each CA runs at the appropriate time. This seems like a bug somewhere. Who would be interested? -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Jensen [mailto:kurt.jen...@ophir-spiricon.com] Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 7:04 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Both Install and Uninstall Custom Actionscalledduring install No, this happens during a first time installation. P.S. We see MSI log data from CAInstall but no log data from CAUninstall. We verified that both were running by creating separate files during each call. Both files are created during one install. -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 2:20 AM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

But, on Windows XP it appears that both actions are being called, CAInstall and later CAUninstall. How can this be? Here is the <CustomAction> and <InstallExecuteSequence> code <CustomAction Id="CAInstall" FileKey="$(var.CustomAction.Install.WiX.TargetName)" DllEntry="CAInstall" Impersonate="no" Execute="deferred" /> <CustomAction Id="CAUninstall" FileKey="$(var.CustomAction.Install.WiX.TargetName)" DllEntry="CAUninstall" Impersonate="no" Execute="deferred" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="CAInstall" Before="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed</Custom> <Custom Action="CAUninstall" Before="RemoveFiles">Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> In task manager, we see two msiexec processes - one for the UI, one to do the work. We see a third pop up when running CAInstall. Then a fourth appears at the very end and appears to be running CAUninstall.
