Hi Christopher,
Thanks for helping me on this. I'm attaching a .zip file (just rename it) with
the log and a simple sample.
The property I'm talking about is "CHECKEDVERSION1" and "CHECKEDVERSION2". In
the log attached, I have gone to the Custom button, and unselected
"CHECKEDVERSION1", however, it still runs the custom action for it even though
I check for the CHECKEDVERSION1 value. Note that I've only tested/exercised
going through the "Custom" button, but I also need to make sure the other ones
work as well.
The reason why "CHECKEDVERSION1" and "CHECKEDVERSION2" are set from the
products.wxs is because in the real installer, I do some checks and if they
pass, we want to have those checkboxes on by default, and besides, for the
"Typical" and "Complete", we'd like for both VERSION to be installed without
having to go through the Custom dialog.
For convenience, the "build.bat" in the .zip builds the .msi cleanly and runs
the .msi (creates a log), it then uninstalls it right away - i've done this for
quick turnarounds. The only gotcha is the path to candle/light, you will
probably have to replace the path to them.
Let me know if you receive the attachment (not sure if it will go through with
the mailing list or not).
Any help on this is much appreciated!
