I have set up a wix script for most of what I need. However, the
remaining section is a subtree where every single file should be
included - and files may be added every now and then. The file structure
contains demo files.
An obvious solution is to write wix code to specify all files.
The problem is that you can't set the background of a checkbox control to be
transparent. To
achieve what you want you need to make the checkbox control the same size as
the checkbox, cutting
off all the text. You then need to create a new text control next to the
checkbox and make it
Hi Dhaval,
I'm new here and I have not much experience with WiX, but if my understanding
is correct, here it goes:
...
CustomAction Id=ActionA .../
CustomAction Id=UndoActionA .../
InstallExecuteSequence
Custom Action=ActionA After=InstallFiles/
Custom Action=UndoActionA
Good day!
I have a problem using IniFile along with Property.
Below is a piece of XML which generates a error:
?xml version='1.0' encoding='Windows-1252'?

If by descends a folder structure and... you mean you want something that
will generate the WiX code for you, then yes. There is heat.exe that comes
with WiX version 3.

Hi,
I think Dhaval only wants its UndoActionA executed on removal, and not during
the installation (otherwise it will immediately undo the effects of ActionA,
right?)

There is indeed a restriction on

You're right, I didn't see the 'entire' condition you propose for UndoActionA
(I saw only INSTALLED part of it :))

Someone else posted something along these lines a few days ago but
didn't get any response, so I thought I'd post again...
I've got a script that I trigger to run during my install and I'd like
to have the MSI check if there was a file created by that script. If the
file exists I'd like it to
At that point during the install, any file searches have already completed.
You'd have to write a second custom action to search for the file, schedule
it to run after the first one and then return an error triggering rollback
if it finds it.
Wouldn't it be easier to just have the first custom
Thanks so much for the replies, guys! Great help!! By the way, Levi was
correct to assume that I want to run the batch file only on uninstall :).
Thanks again, both of you!

Yes that would be easier to have the custom action exit with a failure.
How do you accomplish that? Specifically having it receive a value from
the script and triggering the rollback based on that response.
Ian.

If it's a c++ custom action, return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE instead of
ERROR_SUCCESS. If it's a script-based action, returning 3 instead of 0 will
have the same result. In your WiX files, make sure you have set the custom
action to check it's return code instead of ignoring it. Take a look at

That’s a bug in an older build. Should be fixed in later WiX v2 builds.
No it's an executable. I've tried c++ and VB scripts but they won't work
properly for what I need.
