2. The Custom looks like this: <Fragment Id="WebServerExtensions"> <Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value='"[ProgramFilesFolder]\SomeBat" -filename "[ProgramFilesFolder]\Some.cab"' /> <CustomAction Id="InstallWebParts" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="check"/> </Fragment>
For testing purpose it's nothing but a batch file that echos its parameters to another file (echo %1 %2 %3 %4 > hi.txt)... Two more questions. 1. After I run the install there's still an msi process left behind. Why? 2. what is the <condition> to use to check to see if the above files (somebat.bat) and (some.cab) are on the machine?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] New Wix 3.0 User - confused 1. WiX.chm is provided with every download. It has a wealth of information (the latest versions have a bunch of cool new "How To"). 2. Don't know, can you tell us more about your CustomAction. 3. Take a look at the Upgrade element. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amir Kolsky Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 16:41 To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] New Wix 3.0 User - confused Hi All. So, I'm trying to use Wix 3.0 but it is really hard (I know it's a beta...) A few questions : 1. Is there any documentation for 3.0 anywhere? 2. I'm trying to execute the following: <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom After='StartServices' Action="InstallWebParts"></Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> It does not work... I try this: <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom After='InstallFinalize' Action="InstallWebParts"></Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> It works... why? What are the allowed After values? 3. How do I uninstall the product if it is already installed? Right now I have a message saying I can't uninstall... How do I uninstall only if the version of the product is higher? Thanks in advance!
