You can use a Condition element as a child of Control to show or hide a message based on the property. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[WiX-users] INSTALLDIR Problem
Hi. I have installed my files somewhere and I want to call a file from the place I installed it: Property Id=PATH[INSTALLDIR]BRBManager\Database\Sqlite\SQLite.Install.exe /Property CustomAction Id=ExecuteSQLite Property=PATH ExeCommand='[INSTALLDIR]BRBManager\Database\Sqlite\\' Return='asyncNoWait'/ The setup can't find the file from the Property, because of that [INSTALLDIR] ... In the Custom Action, [Installdir] works fine. If I hardcode that and I suppose I choose to install in C:\Program Files\Barandi\ and then I write this path in that property, everything is OK. It works very well. Why doesn't work with the first [INSTALLDIR] ? This is the way it works: Property Id=PATHC:\Program Files\Barandi\BRBManager\Database\Sqlite\SQLite.Install.exe /Property CustomAction Id=ExecuteSQLite Property=PATH ExeCommand='[INSTALLDIR]BRBManager\Database\Sqlite\\' Return='asyncNoWait'/ __ Check out the New Yahoo!

If a property is formatted, that means that whatever uses it will call a certain MSI API to resolve property values (and other things supported by the Formatted property type). You need to use a custom action to set a property to a formatted value (that might contain other property values in brackets) But if you're trying to run a file that you install, just use something like this: CustomAction FileKey=FileId ExeCommand=arguments ... / Then you don't have to worry about setting the path -- MSI automatically resolves the FileId to the full path of the specified file installed on the target machine. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
