Hello folks,

This is my first post here, so please let me know if I'm violating any
sort of protocol.

 

I have a WiX installer that has per-feature custom actions that need to
be executed on uninstall. Right now I'm running into a problem where the
actions execute whether or not the feature was actually installed by the
user. The custom actions fail because they expect certain resources that
are installed as part of the feature to exist.  If they haven't been
installed, the entire install is stuck in a broken state.

 

Unfortunately, I can't *not* run these custom actions due to legacy
constraints of the application that I'm wrapping.

 

What is the correct way to run a custom action if and only if its
related feature is being uninstalled? I have included the snippet that
I'm currently using below, if it helps.

 

<Custom Action="LaunchUninstallCustomAction"
Before="RemoveFiles"><![CDATA[(NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) AND
(REMOVE="ALL") AND (&FeatureName<=2)]]></Custom>
