If I want to call a custom event right before files are deleted, what event
would I chain it before? How to detect if it's an uninstall etc. (Our
application needs to be called with a switch on uninstall)

I'll answer my question incase anyone else hits this problem...
According to articles on microsoft.com the ImagePath registry value is
supposed to have quotation marks around the pathname of the services
executable if the path contains spaces.
This registry value is used for the pathname and comm

HI All,
In my project, if TARGETDIR contains Apostrophe, my service fails to
start.
Is it possible that I can have a deferred custom action for getting
TARGETDIR in a DLL, by which I will format TARGETDIR by putting '\'
before that?
Can I edit TARGETDIR from a deferred custom action?
How is the apostrophe getting into the TARGETDIR? Is it being entered /
selected by the user, or are you attempting to author a folder which
contains an apostrophe?
Personally, I would suggest that the best thing to do is stay away from
folders with odd names, but I understand that you may not

My installer is failing on some systems, and it appears that its

check your build settings

This was a security fix that went into the MSI engine sometime - I don't
recall the details of when. It's related to spoofing a service because
of the way the SCM looks for the executable.

Yes, if someone manages to write a file named C:\Program.exe, that will run
instead of your service, presumably with elevated privileges, resulting in a
local privilege escalation vulnerability.
If you have spaces in paths that will be handled by ShellExecuteEx,
particularly, the path should be su

If you use "floating" Publish elements, you can(/must) use the Order

It does, when you use its tables to do so. When you get user data or use
custom actions, you're responsible for the data gathered.
