Classification: Public Looks like your custom action is trying to run on uninstall (LaunchApplication) which properly is NOT a good idea? If you only want your custom action to run during installation perhaps you should have a condition: <Custom Action="CA_CREATESHORTCUTFILE" After="CA_CREATEWEBLAUNCHFILE">NOT Installed</Custom>
You can turn on verbose logging for the MSI by adding this propery <Property Id="MsiLogging" Value="voicewarmupx"/> However, as Bob said the Bootstrapper/burn will create a log file for each MSI run as well as its own... They are in the %temp% folder and are named: <Name of your Product>_date/time stamp.log each of the MSI's that you have running will have its own log file: <Name of your Product>_MSIName_date/time stamp.log Steve -----Original Message----- From: penderi [mailto:ian.pen...@huddle.com] Sent: April-11-13 8:59 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix - bootstrapping an MSI with Burn Installs ok, Uninstall Fails.

This seems to imply that the Uninstall action is attempting to restart the app. Which is undesirable. Is that right ? How can I stop this? Is there a way of controlling the bootstrap uninstall?? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Wix-bootstrapping-an-MSI-with-Burn-Installs-ok-Uninstall-Fails-MSI-on-it-s-own-installs-uninstalls-Ok-tp7585073p7585086.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
