As you might expect with a service deliverable in addition to use of standard issue wix provisioning steps it also required a sequencing in few CustomActions using WixCA CAQuietExec. We now have a update to a single dll to put out there into the multiple environments where the service is deployed, e.g. beta, preproduction, uat and production. I've read through the Wix Tutorial Lesson 4 Upgrades and modularization (http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php) to get insights in to options and how to go about this that have led to some questions. q1 - if we create a small updates or minor upgrades version of our v1.0 msi to address clean installs and when I run it on a system with an existing v1.0 install in place what special steps should I do in order to have just the single dll replacement to happen and not replacement of all the other dll's that in terms of there major.minor.build.revision assemblyFileInfo settings will have build.revision changes as a side effect of running a complete new build of all our bits to get an new build of the single dll we care about and the msi containing it? q2 - if we create a small updates or minor upgrades version of our v1.0 msi to address clean installs and when I run it on a system with an existing v1.0 install in place what special steps should I do in order to have just the single dll replacement to happen and not carry out any of the CustomActions using WixCA CAQuietExec that won't be needed in case of an upgrade scenario. q3 - if we create a small updates or minor upgrades version of our v1.0 msi and an associated msp build output is an msp process inherently constrained to just file updates and removals and nothing else? q4 - if we create a small updates or minor upgrades version of our v1.0 msi and an associated msp build output is an msp process inherently going to leave any system where it has run looking the same as if we ran the updated msi in upgrade mode?

Re: [WiX-users] launch webpage on uninstall
Thanks Brian I did miss that however I was looking for someone with a sample or a tutorial rather than downloading the source code to wix and pawing through it. I imagined Wix 2.0 would have 2-3 lines of script to implement this, but reading between the lines it sounds like your saying to your knowledge wix 2.0 doesn't support the scripted launching of a url without significantly more work? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Rogers Sent: Saturday, 30 August 2008 5:32 a.m. To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] launch webpage on uninstall Hey Ewart, I think you are missing what I am saying. This is already in WIX 3.0. Since it is open source you could download the code and see how they launch a URL. Then you just need to attach the correct conditions to the custom action sequence. You would also need to pull the DLL from the WIX 3.0 binaries that has the correct custom action and use that.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with conditional install
Thanks for the ideas but unfortunately, I can't seem to get them to work. With the line suggested below (and several variations of it), the files will not install regardless of if the '[OSINSTALLDIR]\PUBLIC\SH4' is there or not. I've used /l*v with msiexec but there doesn't seem to be any logging that shows the condition statement being tested. Is there another way of seeing this? What does level=101 indicate about the Feature? Could it indicate that I should be putting he condition at another level other than Feature? Could the fact that the feature is pointing to a ComponentGroupRef mean that I need to do something different with my condition? What about a fragment? I may be grasping at straws but those are the main differences between the sample code that works and what the code I'm trying to integrate this into. Again, thanks for any help y'all can provide.

I am confident that the directory path does exist. I am curious if the condition being in a fragment or the Feature Level being 101 has anything to do with it. Thanks for any assistance.
