Hi! I tried setting Before="CostInitialize" but I still have the same problem, I have submitted the compete WIX-file below, maybe I'm doing something else wrong? /Hans ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> <Product Id="ae0f7f5c-a729-4dcf-bc4a-c4f72f657930" Name="A GDP Package" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0" Manufacturer="XXXX" UpgradeCode="b7d5c8ed-60fe-4cab-83f7-4844f0a8cbc2"> <Package Description="This is a description" Comments="This is a comment."

The target directories are initially processed during costing (CostInitialize, FileCost, CostFinalize). If you want to influence the initial values you'll need to change them before CostInitialize. After that, only the file system controls (e.g. PathEdit) can modify the values and update the costing information correctly, IIRC (can't find a source at the moment). The standard actions are documented in the Platform SDK under "Standard Actions" (online at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372022.aspx). The default sequence values are listed in the topics below "Using a Sequence Table" (online at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372404.aspx). WiX uses the numbers suggested in this topic and used in the sample schema MSI supplied in the Platform SDK. However, unlike many other tools, WiX only generates those actions actually required to install the package (for example, if no COM classes are advertised, the Class table is not output and the RegisterClassInfo action is not scheduled). For the WiX custom actions that support, for example, installing a SQL database or performance counters, see the appropriate .wxs file in the WiX source code. -- Mike Dimmick -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Sequence-problem%2C-running-a-custom-action-as-early-as-possible-tf4049750.html#a11516004 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
