Upon further testing, that didn't work. I guess I don't really understand how these things work. I've read the tutorial, and have done a bunch of testing on my own, but I just don't get it. So I tried using: <Condition><![CDATA[(&WinClient == 3)]]></Condition> And I've tried using: <Condition><![CDATA[NOT (&WinClient == 3)]]></Condition> Somehow I get the same result (the component runs in both cases). How is that possible? Now when I use: <Condition><![CDATA[(!WinClient == 3)]]></Condition> And <Condition><![CDATA[NOT (!WinClient == 3)]]></Condition> In one situation the component is installed, and the other it is not. This makes no sense to me. Can anyone explain to me how this works?

Thanks. I had to change it to this: NOT (&WinClient = 3) AND (!WinClient = 3) To get it to not run during the upgrade, but it worked. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 4:14 PM To: Scott Sam; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] How do you have a component work only on an install? I have used a condition like this (&Complete = 3) AND NOT (!Complete = 3) Where "Complete" was the id of my main feature. Check out http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson5.php It seems to work for me. Maybe someone with more experience has a better suggestion though. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Sam Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 4:02 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] How do you have a component work only on an install? I have a component that updates an XML file using the XmlFile element. I only want this to be ran on a clean install, and not on an upgrade. I'm using wix v3. Here is what my component looks like: <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR"> <Component Id="UpdateDataCollectionCfg" Guid="383D9716-7731-4357-B2A8-8DDB2AE86E09"> <CreateFolder /> <util:XmlFile Id="DCUpdate1" ElementPath="/configuration/DataCollection/Vals/add" Name="Value" File="[INSTALLDIR]DataCollectionService.exe.config" Action="setValue" Value="data source=[DBSERVERNAME];initial catalog=xwDataCollector;trusted_connection=true;" /> <util:XmlFile Id="DCUpdate2" ElementPath="/configuration/connectionStrings/add" File="[INSTALLDIR]DataCollectionService.exe.config" Action="setValue" Value="data source=[DBSERVERNAME];initial catalog=xwEDB;trusted_connection=true;" Name="connectionString" /> <Condition>Not Installed</Condition> </Component> </DirectoryRef> I thought that the condition element would achieve the desired results, but that is not the case. Anyone have any ideas on this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
