Let me do this again :) In merge module I have 6 components set to install depending on a custom action that detects the "bit" of MS Outlook (whether it is 32 or 64 bit)
** Currently all 6 files get installed... but only 3 should be installed depending on the Outlook bit ** The three outlook 32 bit files are: <Condition><![CDATA[MYCORP_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM <>"x64"]]></Condition> The three outlook 64bit files are: <Condition><![CDATA[MYCORP_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM <>"x86"]]></Condition> The custom action is run at both execute and ui sequence <Custom Action="RunMYCORPPrerequisiteCheck" Before="CostFinalize">NOT Installed</Custom> MSI Logfile has this: MSI (c) (54!94) [11:36:43:799]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding MYCORP_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM property.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] silly question... re properties... I'm confused by your description of what you've done. You say your CA is C# but it looks like a property setting CA. Also you say its run before LaunchConditions but it says before InstallFiles. As far as I'm aware, any custom action that's run will be mentioned in a verbose log, whatever it does. Component conditions are evaluated during CostFinalize. If your custom action changes the property before InstallFiles, it will not alter the result of the condition. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa368007%28v=vs.85%29 .aspx -----Original Message----- From: StevenOgilvie [mailto:sogil...@msn.com] Sent: 10 October 2012 17:57 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] silly question... re properties... Hi all, I feel like a dork asking but... If a property is a assigned value 'x' and then a custom action changes the value to same ('x') will the MSI log file just show that the custom action was run? i.e. MSI (s) (CC:90) [12:48:12:634]: Doing action: CA_TITUS_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM.SetProperty Action 12:48:12: CA_TITUS_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM.SetProperty. CA: Set TITUS_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM property... Action start 12:48:12: CA_TITUS_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM.SetProperty. Action ended 12:48:12: CA_TITUS_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM.SetProperty. Return value 1. I have set the property: <Property Id="TITUS_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM" Secure="yes" Value="x86"/> run the custom action, a C# custom action project which is run before launchconditions on both execute and UI sequences, the log file shows: TITUS Common Setup Toolkit: TITUS_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM: x86 set the property as: <CustomAction Id="CA_TITUS_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM.SetProperty" Property="TITUS_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM" Value="[TITUS_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM]" /> run the custom action: <Custom Action="CA_TITUS_FOUNDPRODUCTPLATFORM.SetProperty" Before="InstallFiles">NOT Installed</Custom> I have 6 components that are conditioned: <Condition></Condition> but all 6 components (6 files) are installed :( what am I doing wrong? thanks, Steve aka the noob -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/silly-question- re-properties-tp7581268.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
