Hi there
I need to perform some custom actions only if a particular feature of my
product has been selected. If the product has been installed without that
feature there is no need for Custom Action. Can anyone please provide an

And there is more complex scenario:

I have a installer which has three independent features. user can

If you are not using MSBuild/VS/Votive/Nant, you need to add "-ext
WixUtilExtension" to both your candle.exe and light.exe command lines.
If you are using any of those build systems, look for how to "reference" WiX
extensions in the appropriate nant build file or wixproj file (or properties

In your element, add an InstallerVersion attribute and set its
value to "300".

Well this sounds promising. The only trouble I'm having with this is
how to dynamically add to the DuplicateFile Table (or the Directory
Table for that matter). I realize I can use the CopyFile node to author

Unfortunately, we don't have MSBuild Tasks for the patching system, yet. Of
course, all the tools will work fine in MSBuild... just need to do a bit
more work yourself right now.

Wish I had better news. The Windows Installer isn't very forgiving in these
cases.

Ensure your installExecuteSequence in the new installer contains a
MigrateFeatureStates element. This element corresponds directly with the
MigrateFeatureStates action.

Hmmm. That was a good idea, but no, it looks like the

If you target MSI 4.0 or later, you might see this reflected in the

Sorry, perhaps I didn't explain. We are not using MSBuild directly to
create the installation, rather, we are using the VS plugin to enable
the Wix projects to be part of the solution that is built by the TFS

This has been discussed in this list many times before. You need to set your

You can use either a DTF custom action or C/C++ in a custom action dll to
create the temporary rows. If you use C/C++, I recommend using the WCA
library that ships with WiX. Either way, you are making a custom action.

Heat does not use file extensions to determine file types, so each of those
several hundred files is being processed as if they were binaries.

Did you run the extension in the debugger and verify that it was really
returning an object (and not null)?

Thanks Blair and Neil for the help. I looked at the extension you gave a link

Actually, heat.exe does look for certain file types such as
