Hi All, I am basically reposting this question with an example.
The following code executes even when you put Installed or NOT Installed. The windows installer proceeds without an error. Why is it so? The following is my sample code from one of the files in the sample.zip : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Product Name='Foobar 1.0.1' Id='{69F6534A-2BCB-4FE0-A473-F87AD7B56CCD}' UpgradeCode=' {FCACE5B2-7C9E-4798-97A4-A773E2B97885}' Language='1033' Codepage='1252' Version='1.0.1' Manufacturer='Acme Ltd.'> <Package Id='{CBD29230-14A0-418C-BAFB-D3900853102A}' Keywords='Installer' Description="Acme's Foobar 1.0.1 Updater" Comments='Foobar is a registered trademark of Acme Ltd.'
