Thanks use two, great help. I know the default so I was able to just use one set property. Thanks

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] set a property using If statements Sorry, I'd forgotten about that. Thanks Nelya. You'd end up with 2 custom actions with the same Id. You need to write out one or both of the set property custom actions in long form as shown in the previous post (SetProperty is just a shorthand). -----Original Message----- From: Nelya Iva [mailto:nelya....@gmail.com] Sent: 19 September 2012 15:01 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] set a property using If statements A small addition to Peter's answer. I think that you'll get a warning like: 'duplicate of id SetNumloggers'. So better use CustomAction element with two different 'ID'. <CustomAction Id='First' Property='NUMLOGGERS' Value='2'></CustomAction> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action=' First ' Sequence='71'> ProductName = "somevalue" </Custom> 2012/9/19 Peter Shirtcliffe <pshirtcli...@sdl.com> > Yes.
