When UI is in use during installation (UI level is not None), Windows Installer starts with actions from InstallUISequence table. In case when UI level is set to None, you still want to schedule custom action in InstallExecuteSequence table. In that case you may want Execute attribute to be "firstSequence" depending on if you want or don't want custom action to be executed twice. Also, if you want to run your custom action as early as possible, you probably want to schedule it before LaunchConditions.

Ideally on msi startup but on showing the first UI dialog will do. <InstallExecuteSequence > <Custom Action="MyAction" Before="InstallInitialize">(NOT Installed)</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> <CustomAction Id="MyAction" BinaryKey="MyAction_File" DllEntry="MyAction" Execute="immediate" Return="asyncNoWait" /> The code above executes MyAction after all UI dialogs "finished". I guess standard action "InstallInitialize" is not good for this. What would be the best approach to solve this problem. Any idea will be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/CustoAction-as-early-as-possible-tp2222674p2222674.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
