Hi Mikko,

Two options here:
- Use Orca tool.  Open your MSI, go to "Tools/Dialog Preview...".  Choose 
whatever dialog you want to see.
- Add to your install command EXECUTEMODE=None, ie: msiexec /I mymsi.msi 
EXECUTEMODE=None

EXECUTEMODE: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368567(VS.85).aspx

Regards,
Alex

Subject: [WiX-users] MSI package that will never install


Hello

This is not necessarily a WiX question, but what would be the
best way to craft a MSI package that will never install? One
working solution is to use LaunchCondition like this:

  <Product>
    <Property Id="Aborter" Value="foo"/>
    <Condition Message="Nothing was installed.">NOT Aborter</Condition>
  </Product>

This just gives me error dialog saying 'Nothing was installed.'
(or whatever I like) in the end of "installation" but I'd like
to get rid of that. Any ideas?

(The point behind this stupidity is to show the very same simple
dialog every time MSI is run but never actually install anything.)
