You can query what the component that contains that file will do.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa367858(vs.85).aspx describes the concept (from the point of view of the log) and the API to use in your custom action would likely be MsiGetComponentState (look primarily at the piAction parameter). See the code in the WiX custom action library around that API to better understand its usage and the relationship between the piInstalled and piAction parameters, and what that relationship means during install, repair, upgrade, and removal. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Rerick Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 4:30 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] See if a file is going to be installed Hi all. I have looked all over and can't seem to find an answer to my question. I need to be able to determine if a file is going to be installed on a user's computer. The file may or may not exist in the set of install files. If the file exists, then I need to make sure that it gets executed (it is an SQL script file). How do I determine if the file exists in the set of files that will be installed? Thanks in advance.
