Yuo could create custom errors like this: <Error Id="2000">This is my error message</Error> and create a custom action to trigger it like this: <CustomAction Id="MyError" Error="2000" />
You can call this in the InstallExecuteSequence like this: <Custom Action="MyError">NOT WANTED_CONDITION </Custom> The additional problem is how do you stop them triggering if the UI ran? You can create another CA like this: <CustomAction Id="setUI_RAN" Property="UI_RAN" Value="1" /> and schedule it at some point in the InstallUISequence (as long as it's before ExecuteAction). There's no need to declare the UI_RAN property; it will be created when the CA is run. The condition on your CA would then be something like: <Custom Action="MyError">NOT WANTED_CONDITION AND NOT UI_RAN</Custom> Rob Mailinglist wrote: > Hi WiX-Users, > > > > in our Setup we use a personalized GUI, that checks in its first dialog > several conditions and shows messages, if one condition fails.
