with the code that Rob left you may wish to put "or Installed" after it, this will allow the add remove programs to successfully remove your app, with the current code, the app wont install unless the setup.exe is run, however if you try to remove using add remove programs you get your error msg "Please run from exe"
so put this in like like <Condition Message="Please run from the Setup.exe">(RUNFROMEXE=1) or Installed</Condition> Hope that helps Rob Hamflett wrote: > > From a previous post: > "You could put a Condition element under the Product element like this: > <Condition Message='Please run the exe'>RUNFROMEXE = 1</Condition> > > When you call msiexec from the exe be sure to pass RUNFROMEXE=1 as an > argument. > Double-clicking the MSI file obviously won't provide this argument, and so > the launch condition will > fail." > > I don't know if you can get Windows Installer to perform an early return, > but this is at least a > step in the right direction. > > Rob > > Magus wrote: >> Ok, this might sound a bit odd, but I would like my installer to run my >> setup(bootstrapper) if the end-user clicks the MSI.
