Re: [WiX-users] How do i put a Launch Condition within a Feature.

2010-02-07 Thread John Nannenga
A launch condition probably should not be used for this. Launch conditions should be things that verify things at first launch, not at some pre-determined time well into the installation UI. You could use a Custom Action to accomplish this, or perhaps better yet, just hide the feature appropri

What would be the solution in that case? Should I use something else to launch as a beginning like "start" or "cmd"; and then let it launch my target 'app' later? Do you know if that would work? Many people must be needing this kind of launch scenario (i.e. elevated launch after the installa
