Use Orca from the Windows Installer 4.5 SDK and look for that custom
action in both of the InstallShield merge modules. I'll bet its in both
of those modules.
Check the resultant package build in Wix to make sure if you get one of
the copies of the functions.

If you assure that you only install if ALLUSERS=1, then the only reason to

everything is installing perfectly, but now we're having problems

I have been struggling to find one simple example of defining a
preprocessor variable in the wxs file.
Currently, If I Append this to my candle command line:
-dMyVar='foo.exe'
then references to $(var.MyVar) in wxs work.
But no matter how I define MyVar in the main wxs, they are not found.
Why
This is what I do (although I might be missing something since it's been a
while since I had my head into this). This doesn't force users to manually
uninstall, but rather it automatically uninstalls the previous version. So
it may not be what you want.
1. Increment the installer version number.
You might try either using the LaunchConditions table to block the
install, or use the Upgrage table and UpgradeCode to uninstall the
product at the beginning of the install.
These are MSI table, but have corresponding Wix elements. As always,
the Wix Reference and the downloaded Windows Installe

Thank you! I've learned about most of the properties, but I

Just a reminder for someone else trying to accomplish the

You are scheduling your custom action too late. Feature conditions are
evaluated by the CostFinalize action and cannot be changed after that
point. Just move your custom action before CostFinalize.
