Thanks for your reply Carter, my client wants write into file only when installing and uninstalling lessons.
Any other ideas? Regards, Balu -----Original Message----- From: Carter Young [mailto:ecyo...@grandecom.net] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2014 10:02 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] FW: Custom action to write into a file while installing and uninstalling MSI file How about changing the Program to Log the Time each instance Starts, using DateTime.Now? Even If the program is uninstalled the last log file time-stamp shows the last time the program ran. Any Directories or Files that are created post install, are not removed by the installer as the installer did not put them there. The other option is to write the Start time to the Windows Event Log, as the log is time-stamped. Carter Quoting "Mamidi, Balasubrahmanyam" <balu.mam...@flightsafety.com>: > Any help on below?
