Re: [WiX-users] "Condition" problem

I appreciate your help. The problem is that the installer is mainly used as command-line without any GUI. The package gets pushed to several machines and executed with several options (features) enabled or disabled, depending on deployment automation schema. There might be 100+ servers involved.

Re: [WiX-users] "Condition" problem

You should set up the next button in the feature selection screen to display a dialog that IIS is required for that feature(if selected). MyCustomizeDLg is the dialog that has the list of the your features user can select. IISFOUND is a property you set to search for IIS present or not(I think W

Re: [WiX-users] "Condition" problem

User can select any feature. Each feature has a different condition. Installer verifies the condition for feature if it was selected for installation. If the condition is not met, installer breaks and informs what was the reason. Original Message From: Pavan Konduru Sent: Thursday, December 4

I need to define a Condition which generates message and stops installation (if condition fails). This Condition makes sense only if a particular Feature is being installed. It looks like I cannot use standard LaunchCondition because checking for a Feature (using &Feature=3 or &Feature=4) can be
