There isn't a custom action type that sets a condition. In fact custom actions and conditions aren't directly related. ControlEvent Table entries and Sequence Table entries have conditions. DoAction ControlEvents can reference the custom action.
The condition is merely the evaluation of an expression that typically contains a property. You would need to write a custom action that checked for the existence of your virtual directory and set a property with the result. You could then use that property in a condition for your other custom action. But if you are using WiX's built in IIS extension, the vdir shouldn't be getting created during a failed install. The rollback should remove it automatically. Are you using this? ---------------------------------------- From: "Chaitanya" <chaita...@pointcross.com> Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2013 5:30 AM To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Set a Condition in custom action Hi, Iam setting a custom action for creating IIS virtual Directories.when i install the MSI the IIS virtual directory is creating Fine no issue. In, custom action i gave a condition called "NOT Installed and NOT PATCH" when i give this condition the custom action will run only the time when it Installs nor UN-install nor repair/remove. But,If the installation is failed it is creating the virtual directory when I try to install it again i have to delete the IIS virtual directory and have to proceed the Installation. Is there any condition to check the Virtual directory,If the virtual directory is present the installation have to skip or else it has to create.
