I created a custom action that runs an exe on some of the installed files.
(WiX 3 code below). Now I can't uninstall my product because the custom action
fails because the files are not found. Does anyone know how I can force the
uninstall, or get out of this mess some other way?
How can I prevent this blunder in the future? I would like the custom action
to only be run on install. I guess it should also be run on repair, upgrade,
and reinstall, but only if the files I install exist. I think I heard
somewhere that a reinstall is just an uninstall then install. So obviously, my
custom action should only be run during the install phase... is there some
handy condition that I should use?
Thanks,
-Ben
