I can agree that relying on conditions like Not Installed during custom actions does not scale. Component Action states are a much better indicator of when to do something.
My only regret is that MSI never implemented a pattern for hooking into the resilency process. It would have been nice for me to be able to write a component checker provider to indicate if the custom things associated to a component are in a good state or not. ---------------------------------------- From: "Rob Mensching" <r...@robmensching.com> Sent: Friday, February 03, 2012 12:25 AM To: "General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset." <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action Condition Table Better to write your CustomActions to be data driven and use Component states to control when things get installed. That's what the WiX custom actions do so there is plenty of example code. On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 8:05 PM, Amit Khurana <amit.khur...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes. But I don't want to include these files.
