No soap. I tried: <Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">Remove="ALL"</Custom> and <Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">REMOVE="ALL"</Custom> and <Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">REMOVE="all"</Custom> and <Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">Remove="all"</Custom> and <Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">REMOVE="All"</Custom> and <Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">Remove="All"</Custom>
With all I got the same results. It doesn't execute the DeleteCabs CustomAction. > -----Original Message----- > From: Wilson, Phil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 10:18 AM > To: Dane Anderson; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Uninstall Custom action > > Properties are case-sensitive in that syntax you're using.
