Whenever I install/uninstall multiple times using the msi
installers generated by WIX, I get this error.

I was able to execute the CabInstaller with it's uninstall option

my custom action to use a binary key rather than a file key.
The Key Path is how Windows Installer decides whether a
component is already installed or not. If the key path is present, the installer
doesn't do anything regarding the other resources in that component. For files
it will also look at the version numbers, but for registry data it simply

Sorry to be bending your 'ears' with this.
OK. I think I know what is happening now. It *IS* executing my custom
action. The problem is, the binary executable that is supposed to get
run
(cabinstaller.exe) doesn't exist on the machine in the %temp% location,
when the custom action is run.

This, I think, works for me:
extern "C" UINT
REMOVE="ALL" is the right syntax. Must be time for a log:
Msiexec /x {your productcode guid} /l*v somepathtoalog.log

I am trying to port some Wix from one file to another, in
the V1 file … there are about 100 registry keys and each one with it’s
individual component ID. I would like to consolidate all of the registry keys
into 1 component.
However, I can only list one of the keys with a KeyPath=”yes”
Properties are case-sensitive in that syntax you're using. Try "ALL".

An easy way to cut down on lines of XML is to use nesting, but be aware that
all nested stuff ends
up in the same component. This will give you headaches if you ever want to

Follow-up question regarding registry keys….

uuidgen ships with Visual Studio. You can generate multiple
GUIDs using the -n parameter (e.g. if you need 10 GUIDs, use uuidgen -n10). Use
the "Visual Studio xxx Command Prompt" shortcut in the Visual Studio xxx Tools
program group.

The 'external UI' part of the error message is a red herring. It simply
refers to how the messages are communicated from the validation actions,
which run from the Windows Installer API in the same way that an actual

Try removing the definition for the LicenseAccepted property. That should
cause the check box to be
blank by default, and the property will be created when you click on it.
