You are trying to run a custom action of the general type "installed as part of the app" by running something (DropDatabases) that is not being installed, most likely because it is not part of Feature1 that you are installing.

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2753. The arguments are: DropDatabases.cmd, , Then, it rollsback...I never got this error while doing a normal installation. I have done some research on this error and found the following This often means there is a missing "Not Installed" or "Not REMOVE" condition on a custom action. Causing the setup to try to run something that may not exist as part of its installation. Further, this error may be encountered if attempting to execute a file as part of the installation, that is not included in the installation. Following is my CA execution condition <Custom Action="DropDatabases.cmd" Before="testCA"><![CDATA[DELETEDBCHECKED="Yes" AND NOT Installed]]></Custom> Please let me know there is something that I might be overlooking...

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Silent Installation of a single feature Using ADDLOCAL=Feature1 on a silent command line is the documented way to do this. Create a log and see what it tells you about the feature and its components.

Subject: [WiX-users] Silent Installation of a single feature Hello Everyone, Please let me know how I can install a single feature silently...I have tried using msiexec /i abc.msi /passive ADDLOCAL=Feature1. This does not work... If I use msiexec /i abc.msi /passive ADDLOCAL=ALL, then it installs all the features...But, that is not what I want. Please guide me on this topic.
