Alternatively, use $ and the component name if you want it to run if a specific component is being installed (perhaps if the component is shared between two features?)

I may be answering my own question. Going with my example below, should be <Custom> element look something like this?

<Custom Action='' After='InstallFiles'>$FeatureOne=3</Custom>

</InstallExecuteSequence>

Where FeatureOne is my feature that requires the custom action and FeatureTwo and FeatureThree do not require the action.

Could someone confirm this for me? Thanks.

More clarification…

I have started with this:

…

<CustomAction Id="MyAction"

ExeCommand="Readme.txt"

Property="SomeExternalProgramProp"

Return="ignore" Execute="commit" />

…

<Custom Action='' After='InstallFiles'>NOT Installed</Custom>

</InstallExecuteSequence>

I think I just need to understand what condition should go in the <custom> element instead of “NOT Installed”.

OK, I was sure that I had seen an example of this one. How do I set a component specific custom action?

Let’s say I have 3 features that the user can select to install. For one of those features I need to execute a custom action to so something (run an external program). If the user chooses not to install that feature then the action should not run.

I’m sure you guys will tell me this is easy…but I’m missing it.
