NOT Installed means your action should only run when the install was not installed. smile/ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Feng Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 5:00 PM To: Julie Campbell Cc: Bob Arnson; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Error on uninstall? - FIXED Julie, I assume your custom action does not run during repair, but only during install?

It seems I messed up the conditional text on a custom action that was only to run during installation. It was running during uninstall too. As this action creates a file, in a directory that was just removed ... bad things happened. Anyway, all better now, thanks to everyone who spared this issue some brainwaves.
