Hi Sebastian
Thank you for your quick reply.
Yes, I'm sure that INSTALLDIR was set before called. I added extract custom
action before execute CA_RunEXE to display the property INSTALLDIR to the log
file and I can see the value is correct. I copy that value and replaced
Path="[INSTALLDIR]" to Path="C:\Program Files\Company\Product\" and it works.
Function LogMsg
Dim rec
Set rec = Session.Installer.CreateRecord(1)
rec.StringData(0) = Session.Property("INSTALLDIR")
LogInfo = Session.Message(&H04000000, rec)
End function
I also tried your suggestion to remove @Id from FileSearch but still doesn't
works.
<FileSearch Name="APP.exe" />
Thanks
Jeff

Hello,
Are you sure the INSTALLDIR property is set already when the FileSearch
begins?
Also try removing the @Id from the FileSearch, I remember there was an issue
with that when trying to get sub-directories.
Best regards,

Hi there,
I'm trying to create msi installer using wix and this installer will search
for old application for current install location. When the old application
found, a custom action will execute the old application.
I used the following script to search for the old application.
<Property Id="EXE_EXISTS">
<DirectorySearch Id="CheckInstallDir" Path="[INSTALLDIR]"
Depth="0" >
<FileSearch Id="CheckExeFile" Name="APP.exe" />
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
When the old application found, custom action "CA_RunEXE" will execute.
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CA_RunEXE"
After="InstallInitialize">EXE_EXISTS</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
But according to the msi log, action CA_RunEXE never execute because
condition is false even the old application exist. From the log file I see
INSTALLDIR already set and pointed to correct location("C:\Program
Files\Company\Product\"). If I replace <DirectorySearch
Id="CheckInstallDir" Path="[INSTALLDIR]" Depth="0" > to <DirectorySearch
Id="CheckInstallDir" Path="C:\Program Files\Company\Product\" Depth="0" >,
the action CA_RunEXE executed as expected. I cannot hardcode the Path as
user may install in different locations.
Can anyone of you can see what's wrong in my script?
Thanks in advance
Jeff
