There's not much more information than that when compiling. I did narrow it
down to something specific within the feature, not adding the feature
itself... b/c I tried a different feature I had on-hand and it worked. I

Sure, MsiSetProperty(hinstall, PROP, PROPVALUE) I would think, then you
could take that PROP and put and use it in your UIText element,
while scheduling to run immediate.
I'm thinking that would work.

1st thoughts:
1) Typically look at the Publish elements in the UI sequence and see what
each control does.
2) Not sure what you're trying to do exactly
3) Write a CA, then tie it to the "Finish" control. Something similar to
this...
And in the Value attr, that would be your CA Id.
On Fri, O
You can do a property/regsearch for IIS v5/6/7:
Key="SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters" Name="MajorVersion"
Root="HKLM"
Same for MySQL:
Key="SOFTWARE\MySQL" Name="MajorVersion" Root="HKLM"
Same for .NET 20
Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v2.0.50727"
Oh, I'm not too sure about the uninstalling "recursion" you're talking

You'll probably have to write up a dialog and have some edit fields set to
properties and pass those values entered onto the util:xmlconfig element.
That's been my approach. Maybe I'm on the wrong track on what you are
trying to do...

CopyFile would probably work, but if u have a bunch of files that seems

All told, your property is incorrect... and your sequencing on your 2nd CA
call should be scheduled right after you do the Set CA call. I don't have

I've seen people use that syntax as well, but have you tried something like

That's misleading, if you set it up correctly, you can use action="create"
to actually update an existing entry. You just have to be careful of escape
chars.
This would work for an '' ---> ' structure
elementpath="//appSettings/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'somekey'[\]]"
Just toss in the value you want in
Usually you want to specify domain\account for the Account attribute I
believe.
