Currently, I'm installing the merge module of mfc42.msm
During the installation, it says mfc42.dll is used and it can't replace it.
I can say cancel, ignore or retry so I don't think windows installer replace it
during next reboot.
Is there a way to ask windows installer to do this?
I'm sorry, the exact error message is:
The Windows Installer service cannot update the system file

Is it dangerous to use Heat with wix 2.0 if I only use it for dll

A short cut can contain a target attribute.
So you can put the shortcut in a different component (And not only as child of
file tag) and set a condition on this component.

Have you tried something like this:

This should execute the action only if the product is installed.

Hello,
I'm converting an existing InstallShield merge module to Wix. This
merge module puts some files in the Windows Installer cache directory to
support maintenance operations.
My code is as follows:

It might be a good idea to schedule this based on the state of the component
or feature. That way you can tie the custom action's execution to whether
or not the specific component is being installed/uninstalled based on that
state.
