Since this would involve generating a custom action without direct user knowledge, how could WiX handle errors related to scheduling if there isn't enough room to fit the generated CA (or other errors that might come up as a result of the generated CA)? My worry with this request is that the user will become confused by the generated custom action rows and wonder where they came from. Another open issue with this is how to create a custom action name which will be guaranteed to not collide with other actions. With all of these issues combined (and likely others I'm not thinking about right now), it seems like it might just be best to force users to learn how to author the appropriate custom action so that they have full control over it and understand what is going on during installation/uninstallation/etc... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642717&aid=1292960&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
