Hello. My installation package consists of MSI-file and set of directory with additional files. Those files are used by type 1 custom action (DLL file stored in a Binary table stream). Since these directory is required, in MSI there is a property that checks for the directory existence (via '<DirectorySearch ... Path="[SourceDir][MY_REDIST_DIR]"...>') and a custom action that aborts installation if that property is empty.
My installation should not have maintainence installation. It should simple install everything as it is first-time installation. When I run installation for the first time on a clear machine every thing works fine. When I repeat same installation on the same machine the custom action that checks for the directory existence property triggers and aborts installations. Learning log I found that MSI-engine after first installation copies my msi into its internal directories and runs this copied msi instead. And this cause a problem since MSI-engine does not copy my additional directory. Is there any way to disable copying? How can make MSI-engine to use my msi but not copied? -- Best regards, Peter G.
