Robert, your best bet if you're building a C/C++ custom action is to use
static linking so you don't have any dependencies.

This happens because every time you build your application(setup) a new
package code is getting generated, keeping the same package code will
give you the behavior what you are expecting.

When you rebuild you have a new MSI. The only option is to recache/reinstall
(minor upgrade like) or major upgrade. Or uninstall the previous package and
install the new one.

Going back to the original post, a NOT Installed condition on a custom action
should prevent it being called during a repair, so I'd look at a log of the
repair to see what's going on and why the CA is being called. What's the
complete condition being used?

Wouldn't you rather that the Cancel button worked properly instead of
disabling it?
Chances are,
Possibly but there people actually do installs, the people on .Net
forums still think you can xcopy deploy :-)

Our product versions mostly conform to the major.minor.build convention
specified by the MSI standard, but sometimes we have to put letters in the
strings to indicate an update or "hotfix", i.e. 1.0.5.U1 or 2.4.16.HF02.
Obviously this is a big no-no to have letters in ProductVersion property.

In my experience, Heat does not deal right with interop assemblies. And
yes, you are right: interop assemblies do not need registration entries,
they do not need any entries in the registry at all.

Hi,
I have an app that creates couple of files during its lifetime within machine
isolate storage area. As part of application uninstall, we need to remove those

Also, is there a way to detect that a file is an Interop file. One possibility
