Hi Rob, I don't believe you'd be able to catch this, based on my very limited understanding of WIX and the installer services. Since the directory path in question was supposed to be dynamically set, there would be no way to be sure at compile time that the directory will exist (or that the path

Did you bind the files in the .wixlib? If so, you need to rebuild the .wixlib. Also, order of files installed is not something you control in MSI. You shouldn't need order. Just list the filles you want installed and they will all be installed. On Tue, May 15, 2012 at 11:01 AM, mba wrote: > Hi,

In cases where the user chooses features from a dialog, that dialog is after CostFinalize in the MSI files I've looked at, so feature-action is unknown. Maybe it's correct after CostFinalize if you've specified features in advance on the command line, but I don't know if that's what you're doing
