Try the UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE property[1] as well as the property associated with your Major Upgrade[2]. There's no need for all the custom actions. The Major Upgrade property is set for the version to be installed and the UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE property is set for the version that is being upgraded/removed. So, in other words, if your sequence is being run with UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE set then you are in a major upgrade removal. If the Major Upgrade property is set then you're performing a major upgrade of another version.

When an Upgrade is happening, this custom action runs twice; 1st for Uninstall and then for Install. I want that this custom action should run only for Uninstall iteration and should skip at Install iteration internally when an Upgrade is happening (i.e. when Uninstall and Install both cycles run one after other). I couldn't find any condition which will separate these two scenarios (Uninstall and Install phase of an upgrade). There is no property which changes after the Uninstall cycle is over. REMOVE="ALL" is true from the beginning till end of whole upgrade cycle. Hence I wrote another custom action which will set value of a property (UNINSTALLMARKED) at sequence number around 1555 so that when Install starts after Uninstall, I can use this property to differentiate between two scenarios. So My condition looks like below: <Custom Action="QtExecHKCRHTTPImportProperty_Cmd" Sequence="1554">(REMOVE="ALL") AND (EXISTINGVERSION) AND (NOT UNINSTALLMARKED)</Custom> EXISTINGVERSION property also is always set right from the beginning as it detects an Upgrade. I assumed when Uninstall cycle starts above condition will be true as 'UNINSTALLMARKED' will not be set at sequence number 1554. But it will be set at 1555. Hence this custom action will get executed for the Uninstall cycle and will be skipped for Install cycle as by then the 'UNINSTALLMARKED'' property will be set. However when I ran an Upgrade (run msi), below are the logs: MSI (s) (14:F4) [06:22:19:824]: Skipping action: QtExecHKCRHTTPImportProperty_Cmd (condition is false) MSI (s) (14:F4) [06:22:19:864]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding UNINSTALLMARKED property. Its value is 'UNINSTALLED'. I don't understand if the property is getting set after the custom action then why the condition is false? I believe out of three properties in the condition the culprit is 'UNINSTALLMARKED' as according to logs both other properties are getting set very early in the logs. Is it like even if I see property getting set later in the logs, it actually is set before itself? Below is how I am setting property. <CustomAction Id="CA_MarkUninstall" Property="UNINSTALLMARKED" Value="UNINSTALLED" Execute="immediate" /> <Custom Action="CA_MarkUninstall" Sequence="1555"></Custom> I basically need a condition which will differentiate between UNINSTALL and INSTALL phase of an Upgrade.
