I just realized that we may using the wrong approach.
We have two installers: InstallerA and InstallerB. InstallerB can only be
installed if InstallerA is installed. So we are using component search to
find one of the components of InstallerA. Should we be using upgrade table
instead?

Yes, but you'll need to open the MSI in Orca to find the GUID.

There used to be a function called WcaGetComponentState() but we replaced it
with a more useful WcaGetComponentTodo(). You pass in the Component Id and
it tells you what "to do".

1. No, quiet exec CA doesn't clear the property. If you have sensitive stuff
in there, mark it hidden.
2. Typically, the WiX custom actions schedule (via WcaDoAction()) the
rollback custom actions by name.
Have you looked at how the WiX custom actions work? I think you'll learn a
lot.

I created an installer and that has a feature that has two other

the size of these features, it says that main feature size is zero but

Hi Rob:
I'm thinking the QAQuiet custom action, and the CustomActionData property.
Also, how do I distinguish between a rollback and a standard custom action, is
it just in the xml authoring or do I have to do something special in the ca
itself.
Cheers
Sean.

Certainly sounds like you are modifying machine state.
If the user clicks cancel after the custom action runs, should the files be
removed (probably "Yes" unless they are temp files in the temp folder)? If
so, then you must be deferred and you need a rollback custom action.
Which custom action in

The custom action will run again. For data driven custom actions that modify
machine state, the custom action should decide what to do (create, delete,
update) based on the action state of a Component. This is important because
in repair you could have Components in all action states: none, install
It would be very unusual to base the action of a custom action off of a
Feature state. That's why you don't find support for it in wcautil.
Component states are (in my experience) always the better choice (given the
way the Windows Installer works).

Hi:
I'm currently using the QuietExec custom action to run a command line tool
which itself creates extra files.
Given that this creates files is this considered changing the state of the
system? If so should I run this as a Deferred action? Or can I get away with an
immediate action?
Also does
Just am not sure whether the line

You need to reference a changed dialog set. For the following I assume
you work with Votive in VS and this sample shows the changes for
WixUI_Mondo.wxs:
- Copy the WixUI_Mondo.wxs (from WiX Source) to WixUI_ABCMondo.wxs in
your solution.
- Reference instead of to

Hi Rob,
thank you very much for your reply.
I installed Wix 3.5.2415 and now all works fine!
Thanks again,
