Isn't your logic backwards ? The error custom action will run if you are installed or have vista SP2+ or have win7 sp1+. Launch conditions must be true to continue with installation; error custom actions must be true to issue an error.

Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Action Type 19 in WiX 3.6 RC I am using following but its not working (at-least OS check should work but its not): <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action='CA_IsPrivileged' Before='LaunchConditions'> Not Privileged </Custom> <Custom Action='CA_OSCHECK' After='CA_IsPrivileged'> Installed OR (VersionNT=600 AND ServicePackLevel>=2) OR (VersionNT=601 AND ServicePackLevel>=1) </Custom> <Custom Action='CA_DOTNETFRAMEWORK' After='CA_OSCHECK'> Installed OR NETFRAMEWORK40CLIENT OR NETFRAMEWORK40FULL </Custom> <Custom Action='CA_SCOM2012CHECK' After='CA_DOTNETFRAMEWORK' /> </InstallExecuteSequence> And in CustomAction.wxs file I defined it as: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <CustomAction Id='CA_IsPrivileged' Error='!(loc.ValidationAdministrator)' /> <CustomAction Id='CA_OSCHECK' Error='!(loc.ValidationOperatingSystem)' /> <CustomAction Id='CA_DOTNETFRAMEWORK' Error='!(loc.ValidationDotNetFramework)' /> <CustomAction Id='CA_R2CHECK' Error='[R2CHECK]' /> </Fragment> </Wix> The last custom action is a component search (highly important to have) is defined as: <Property Id="R2CHECK" Value="!(loc.ValidationR2)"> <ComponentSearch Id="CMPSRCH_R2CHECK" Guid="{XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}" /> </Property> When I am running the setup, its going on executing on my Windows XP machine. OS Validation not working as is only for Win 7 SP1 or Win Server 2008 R2 SP1 also the component which I have a check is not present on this machine. -- Thanks and Regards, Ravi Raj ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
