Hello there I have a strange problem with the type 19 CA that is used to exit the installer if repair is chosen. I run the following CA: <CustomAction Id="ExitOnRepair" Error="This installer does not support repair."/> <InstallExecutesequence> <Custom Action="ExitOnRepair" After="LaunchConditions">Installed AND NOT (REMOVE="ALL")</Custom> </InstallExecutesequence> It works fine when i try to repair the installation. But when i uninstall by double clicking the MSI and clicking remove button,i see that this CA is getting executed and the installer exits..how can this happen? i couldn't find anything from the debug logs
any help???
