components (they will not be removed when the product is removed, whether as
part of the upgrade or any other time). Most of the time, people don't like
that either (they expect clean removals).
The usual way to do things is:

I am looking for a particular feature is installed in the system. If it is
installed, then making flag to true and using that variable to set one
property in wxs.
I am retuning that variable from my dll based on the feature installtion and

I am amazed,

Hi there,

Since using DefineConstants in msbuild appears to be a dead end, maybe
someone can suggest another approach.
Our VS2008 solution can be built for three different products -
Standard, Professional, and Enterprise - depending on a compiler
constant sent to each csproj and wixproj - BG_STANDARD,
I've successfully used DefineConstants before. I used it to provide external
paths to locations I was harvesting. Of course, a repo would be nice.

Please consider
Repro is simple. From a default wixproj created in VS2008, I added the
following
PropertyGroup
WixToolPath$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\..\..\..\Installations\WiX\Windows
Installer XML v3\bin\/WixToolPath
WixTargetsPath$(WixToolPath)Wix.targets/WixTargetsPath
Did you try my suggestion?
CreateProperty Value=WiXProductName=BeamGage
Professional;WiXProductVersion=$(WiXVersion);$(DefineConstants)
Output TaskParameter=Value PropertyName=DefineConstants /

Hi,
I am trying to run a custom action on uninstall only. The problem is that

I have tried all the conditions:

A database is read-only during an installation session. You may insert
TEMPORARY columns and rows, but that is all. This is not a DTF limitation --
it's from the MSI runtime. So you won't be able to do anything via P/Invoke
that you can't do using the DTF database APIs.
As for the discrepancy
I have a CA running after InstallFinalize inside InstallExecuteSequence
sequence and it relies on an environment variable (HOME), however, the
variable isn't being set until AFTER I completely finish the installation.
