Guys,
After going through some of the logs, I decided to use
WixUI_InstallMode property to differentiate the installer from various
modes of installations.
I have a custom action "RetrieveCred" which should execute only for some
modes of installation.
<CustomAction Id="RetrieveCred" Return="check" Execute="immediate"
BinaryKey="MystomAction" DllEntry="RetrieveCred"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="RetrieveCred" After="CostFinalize">
<![CDATA[WixUI_InstallMode="Update" OR
WixUI_InstallMode="Change" OR WixUI_InstallMode="Repair"]]>
</Custom>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
Now, when I am applying a patch on the base installer (i.e.
WixUI_InstallMode="Update") my custom action is evaluated to false even
though the condition is evaluated to true. Below is a snapshot of my log
with line no. in them.
652: MSI (c) (48:E8) [14:07:42:284]: Doing action: MigrateFeatureStates
653: Action 14:07:42: MigrateFeatureStates. Migrating feature states
from related applications
655: Action start 14:07:42: MigrateFeatureStates.
661: Action start 14:07:42: WelcomeDlg.
662: Action 14:07:42: WelcomeDlg. Dialog created
673: MSI (c) (48:8C) PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding WixUI_InstallMode
property. Its value is 'Update'.
675: Action 14:07:47: VerifyReadyDlg. Dialog created
811:Action ended 13:34:35: CostFinalize. Return value 1.
812:MSI (s) (8C:D4) [13:34:35:918]: Skipping action: RetrieveCred
(condition is false)
813:MSI (s) (8C:D4) [13:34:35:918]: Doing action: MigrateFeatureStates
1578: Action ended 14:08:40: CostFinalize. Return value 1.
1579: MSI (s) (BC:88) [14:08:40:211]: Skipping action: RetrieveCred
(condition is false)
1580: MSI (s) (BC:88) [14:08:40:211]: Doing action: MigrateFeatureStates
Can anyone suggest me how to get CA to be executed only on Patch
install?
Why is the custom action condition is evaluated to false?
Thanks

Thanks guys, some of the properties does not behave in the way it is
described in msdn.
Will it be possible for me to know the condition for execution of custom
action that I should use for the following scenarios
1) CA to execute during install, modify and repair. Should not be
executed on Patch install and uninstall.
2) CA to be executed only on Patch install.
3) CA to be executed only on Patch uninstall.
4) CA to be executed only on major uninstall.
Regards,

WiX doesn't have any such thing. Some WIX extensions such as NetFx have
some defined which are listed in their respective schemas but there's
nothing in 'vanilla' WiX like what you're describing.
Windows Installer on the other hand has a whole bunch of properties any
MSI can use (such as the REMOVE Property you reference). There's a
comprehensive list of Windows Installer properties on MSDN at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa370905.aspx which is linked in
the documentation at
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/overview/msi_useful_links.

Hi,
Is there a comprehensive list and behaviour of WIX properties that we
can use during component/Custom action install conditions?
For e.g. if I am correct, "INSTALL" property is false until the
completion of "ExecuteAction" of "InstallUISequence" and then it changes
to true.
The "REMOVE" property is a delimited list of features to
be removed. Just because one or more features is being removed doesn't
mean the product is being removed fully.
Thanks
