MSDN topic on REMOVE property (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371194(VS.85).aspx) states:
"...the REMOVE property may not equal ALL until after the InstallValidate action." On the other hand, instead of saying "if not fresh install and not uninstall and not patch and not upgrade" just use REINSTALL property as suggested by Sébastien. Be careful though because REPAIR is set during patching as well (read http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2005/08/12/451037.aspx).

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???
