I believe I found the reason: I had an immediate custom action that
required privileged access. Once I changed it to be deferred with
impersonate=no the problem disappeared.

that there is some problem with Windows Installer 4.5 when running on
Virtual PC/Virtual Server/Hyper-V (in my case with Windows Server 2008

Actually, WI requires file to be in the Windows folder.
You can either copy your .ini file to windows folder during installation or

Hi,
I made a custom action that needs to run only if a checkbox was checked during
UI or not at all if in quiet or minimal mode. To do this, I created my
property, linked it to my checkbox and then configured my condition but it
seems that no matter what I do, the action is always ran.
Here are
And if you use a property, add it to the MsiHiddenProperties list so it doesn't
show in plaintext in an MSI log.

If you encrypt it, you'll have to have some process (CustomAction) run

We have successfully built and utilized a "MST" file when deploying our RTM

following command to pass in this transform file:

CustomActions are very hard to write correctly. There are lots of moving
parts that they have to fit in between. The way I learned it was to read
the MSI SDK pages about CustomActions a few times. There is a lot of
data to digest. DTF is just a managed wrapper around all of those
concepts so if
Again, I found my solution by myself:
To define custom conditions for the SchedXmlConfig action that gets added when
you use XMLConfig, you simply have to reschedule it in the
installExecuteSequence and there, you will be able to set your own conditions.
For instance:
VersionNT > 400

Hi All,
I am using the ServiceInstall tag to install my service, this works great. This
service needs to run as a specific user so I set the Account/Password
attributes which works no problem. The msi I am creating needs to run with no
user interaction so I want to hardcode the username/passwor
A solution I have been using is AutoIt V3 scripting language. I create
self-extracting executables that are then distributed to the customer. I
would recommend downloading the SciTE editor as well - it has a lot of
additional features.

Try making the property public so it can be passed from the UI to execute
sequence.

I would investigate the dll loading code then, maybe you are discarding
an error that would be helpful.

You need to keep the original conditions as they rely on properties set
by the custom action called by DoAction.

You're probably missing a reference to WixUI_Common where all those are
