Your inner text looks fine. I use the same but inside a CDATA tag e.g. <Custom Action="SetCertsBatPath" After="CostFinalize"><![CDATA[NOT Installed]]></Custom>
I would try that & see if it fixes your uninstall problem. No idea why it would but you never know. I put my inner text inside CDATA tags as a habit even when it shouldn't be required as in your code. Are you sure the error is due to this Custom Action? There is a list of Properties on MSDN -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370905.aspx but I'm not sure this is the cause of your uninstall issue. Neil Sleightholm is correct on the earlier problem with the Custom Action. The examples for Qtexec in the WiX help documentation is incorrect which also tripped me up using Qtexec earlier in the week. I stripped my property setting custom action code down to minimum tags required for a type 51 custom action e.g. <CustomAction Id="SetCertsBatPath" Property="CertsBatPath" Value=""[#certs.bat]"" Return="check" /> See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368237.aspx Palbinder Sandher Software Deployment and IT Administrator T: +44 (0) 141 945 8500 F: +44 (0) 141 945 8501 http://www.iesve.com **Design, Simulate + Innovate with the <Virtual Environment>** Integrated Environmental Solutions Limited.

How do I make the action be executed only when the installer is installing my app (as oposed to uninstalling or repairing) I tried to use it as: <Custom Action="SetCertsBatPath" After="CostFinalize">NOT Installed</Custom> it works during install, but while uninstalling i get error, and program won't uninstall. Is there any other, more appropriate flag for that? Is there a list of all those flags I can use? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8/27/2008 10:57 am >>> I think the documentation may be wrong, looking at my usage I would do this: <CustomAction Id="SetCertsBatPath" Property="CertsBatPath" Value=""[#certs.bat]"" /> Neil Neil Sleightholm X2 Systems Limited [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Krzysztof Kozmic Sent: Wed 27/08/2008 09:09 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Odp: Re: Need help with QtExec It works, when I change it to: <CustomAction Id="SetCertsBatPath" Property="CertsBatPath" Value=""[#certs.bat]"" Execute="immediate" Return="check" /> Seems odd to me.
