The enumeration value you're looking for is InstallRunMode.Scheduled. Yeah it's not the most obvious naming, but DTF tries to stay consistent with the terminology used by the MSI SDK<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370125.aspx>. ________________________________________ From: Blair [os...@live.com] Sent: Monday, July 27, 2009 11:21 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] DTF: How to Decide whether to Schedule or Execute Custom Actions If your entire logic in the ScheduleInstallAction and ScheduleUninstallAction actions is completely driven by your own tables referencing features and/or components (along with whatever other data ExecuteAction may need) AND you don't have any dependencies on other standard actions (such as needing to access installed files) you could check the action states of your feature/component and setup your data for ExecuteAction that way (from just one immediate action). -----Original Message----- From: Castro, Edwin G.

Subject: [WiX-users] DTF: How to Decide whether to Schedule or Execute Custom Actions Most of the custom actions I’m implementing come in groups of threes: * ScheduleInstallAction runs immediate and is responsible for scheduling the install action and it’s rollback action. * ScheduleUninstallAction runs immediate and is responsible for scheduling the uninstall action and it's rollback action. * ExecuteAction runs deferred and installs, uninstalls, and/or performs rollback depending on what got scheduled and the InstallRunMode. My goal is to reduce the number of custom actions from three to two. To do that I need to decide whether I need to schedule or execute. I was hoping it would be as easy as checking whether I'm running in InstallRunMode.Deferred but I see that value doesn't exist. What would be the proper way to make that decision? Edwin G.
