Not really, I'm afraid, although I do appreciate the effort. My problem is that I've got multiple dependencies that I need to make sure are installed, and I'm pretty much stuck doing it the "dumb" way by kicking the installers off as custom actions during the InstallUISequence. I know that's th

I believe you're back in the non-elevated part of the installation because by default you can't be elevated unless you run as a deferred CA, and you can't be deferred outside the InstallInitialize/Finalize actions. It's an immediate CA, right? Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: [EMAI

Is the error message from a dialog that pops up, or the log? Sometimes, odd installer errors are really something else that's not 100% related to the error that gets spit out. Or it might result from an earlier warning that's not displayed. You might produce a log from the commandline to get more d

I'm writing a c++ custom action to uninstall a badly installed piece of software before installing. Unfortunately, I can't remove a particular DLL because it's opened by wuauclt.exe. It's possible that this wouldn't occur within the installer, but only when I'm running the CA outside. Could an

Funny - you'd think that Microsoft would be using these same merge modules for their own applications that want to install the MSVC runtime libraries in the side-by-side. In that case, wouldn't they have worked out all the bugs long ago? I guess I'm being a bit sardonic here - it's clear to me t

You shouldn't need a custom action. If a file was in use then the Windows Installer should prompt for install. How are you uninstalling the product? Is it possible that you are suppressing the dialog that would tell you a reboot is required? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
