Re: [WiX-users] Execution order of launch condiitions

Correct. I didn't say MSI doesn't have an ORDER BY statement, I said it doesn't 
have a functioning ORDER BY statement. :-)  Of course I'm sure someone will 
either say it functions as designed or my personal favorite, functions as 
constructed.

        You do have to be careful with ORDER BY in MSI SQL syntax, it really 
behaves more like a GROUP BY.  For things that have a Sequence column it 
doesnt really matter but if youre hoping to get alphabetical sorting ORDER 
BY in MSI is sure to surprise you.  <smile/>

    What do you mean?  According to 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372021.aspx, there is an ORDER BY 
clause in the SELECT statement.  I've used it once or twice, and it appears to 
work.

    I always thought that it was silly that MSI SQL didn't have a functioning 
ORDER BY statement and that many tables where order would be useful don't have 
ORDER columns to allow useful traversing of the record sets.  

     

    I once wrote a very sweet custom LaunchConditions pattern.  I write about 
it a bit here for anyone interested in extending LaunchConditions to actually 
be useful.

    says: "You cannot guarantee the order.." 

     

    They suggest to author a CustomAction type 19, in wix that would be a 
custom action with the Error attribute set, but I have never done that.

Subject: [WiX-users] Execution order of launch condiitions

      In our product installs we have several launch conditions set, but the 
order is not from the top down. Is there any way in WiX to set the order of 
execution?

     

    For example, we would like them to check them machine architecture and 
privileged settings before checking for other support packages to be 
preinstalled.

     

    Can WiX set the order or are we at the mercy of Windows installer to do 
this? Seems kind of basic to be able to do this.
