Ok..Seems that this problem has come again in different form.
In my setup I now have 3 features - 1st feature installs our service and the
other 2 install a separate IIS site, IIS application and IIS application pool
dedicated for that particular feature.

Thanks Maksim. ThE uPGRADE_FROM_VERSION property is set to "6.1.8.78", which

sufficient impetus for us to look a little deeper at the licensing issues,

Presumably Session wraps the MSIHANDLE that you can't use from a deferred (non

what you need for non-immediate custom actions.

Hi to all,
I'm struggling against an issue and I don't understand how to solve it.
I realized a setup using the stable build of Wix 3.5.
This setup creates some virtual folders and add some mime types to virtual
folders configuration.
All worked fine on several machines but, on a Windows 2008
The is achieved by enabling the install to support elevation. MSI does this by
default when UAC is enabled and you are targeting the 4.0 or higher MSI engine.
There are two things you need be aware of when using custom actions:
1. All immediate custom actions run in the current users context.

Hi Bharat,
your CustomAction probably throws an uncatched exception. Methods
capable of throwing exceptions should be executed from within a
try-catch block. There you can show the user your own error message or

We used to do this and were fine for several years but then msiexec.exe started
crashing on a number
of machines. I had to change everything to use the REINSTALLMODE method.
