If you need to reference a property from another you could try using setproperty. So keep what you have here but swap the Property element for a SetProperty one. SetProperty Id= DestFilesFolder Value=[INSTALLLOCATION]\Website\App_Config After=AppSearch Sequence=both / -Original

There's an important gotcha. The 64-bit SQL CE assemblies are just thunks for the 32-bit pieces. This means installing the 32-bit assemblies is sufficient on a 32-bit platform, but both need to be installed to work on a 64-bit platform. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build Install Engineer -

Two things: 1. Running batch files is generally frowned upon. smile/ 2. That said, I think you need to add Impersonate='no'. Bonus: commit actions are kinda' special. Are you sure you don't want to just run the action deferred and really late in the sequence instead? On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at

Providing an exe to fix a bad uninstall seems lazy/wrong to me. One should ask for a fixed installer, short of that I can only think of two options. The first is as you suggested with a stub exe to run the uninstall and then the cleanup utility. The second option would be to modify the bad msi
