That's why the custom action is triggered in both the InstallUISequence (for when run with a UI), and in the InstallExecuteSequence (no UI). Hope this helps.

[WiX-users] Passing multiple vars to candle
Title: Passing multiple vars to candle Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to pass more than one variable to candle via the d switch. I know one can use the -d multiple times, but what I'm looking fore is more like passing a file with the vars defined in it. I'm working towards a low maintenance solution, where developers only have to edit one or two files. Regard Morten - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [WiX-users] Adding multiple entries in add/remove programs
As Stefan pointed out, you need two separate MSI packages to get two entries in ARP. My point was that one way to offer functionality that can be added or removed is to have a package with two features and a single entry in ARP, and then users can use the modify in that single ARP entry to remove (or add) features. Using features like this is generally safer if the two components you're referring to are connected in some way and perhaps sharing files.

I don't know if this is my fault or not. At the end of tte

So nobody sees anything wrong there? How about the BACKEND portion.
Does the squence contain anything fishy? Again, this is an
intermittent bug.

Re: [WiX-users] Launching program after installation completesgives occassional error. (Roy Abou Assaly)
I think you're on the right track there.
Thelogwill sayif the file is really being installed. I'm
wondering if there's an existing version of the file out there.The message
might be something to do with the file not being installed because it's already
there with the same version (or higher?), so the only way it can run the actual
exe in your package is to force it to be installed (causing the repair entries
in the event log).

Roy:I'm not sure what is going on here, but if the MSI dialog
is reappearing after the product is installed, it seems that things are not
installing the way you expect. Windows Installer might even be restarting
to *fix* that component because the file is not on the disk. The section
of the log file that might be a little more valuable is under InstallValidate
(make sure the component and feature are actually scheduled for installation,
not install on demand or something else), also in the FileCopy area, is the file
being copied without any problems? In my experience if the UI has a
problem, it will fail every time, it won't work intermittently.
