I want to install file shortcuts based on a value in registry, can it be done?
If HKLM\software\myapp\myKey1 exists, then don't install shortcut If HKLM\software\myapp\myKey2 exists, then install shortcut How can I add conditions to components and features? Do I have to use custom actions? If so, any examples? In test1.wxs <Feature Id='Binaries' Title='Deploy Binaries' Description='Deploy Binary Files' Level='1'> <ComponentRef Id='File1dll' /> </Feature> In test2.wxs - where shortcut is created <Component Id='file1dll' Guid='ad42bd82-ac90-48f2-8db8-eab8a3921018'> <File Id="file1.dll" Name=" file1.dll " Source="Normal\file1.dll " KeyPath="yes" Vital="yes"> <Shortcut Advertise="yes" Id="MyMenuShortcut" Directory=" dirMyCalc " Name="MyCalc" WorkingDirectory="MyCalcBin" > <Icon Id="Myicondll" SourceFile="Normal\file1.dll" /> </Shortcut> <Shortcut Advertise="yes" Id="MyDeskTopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder" Name="Launch MyFile" WorkingDirectory=" MyCalcBin " > <Icon Id="etdesktop.exe" SourceFile="Normal\file1.dll" /> </Shortcut> </File> <RemoveFolder Id="DeleteMyMenuShortcut" Directory=" dirMyCalc " On="uninstall" /> <RemoveFolder Id="DeleteMyDeskTopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder" On="uninstall" /> <RemoveFolder Id="MyProgramMenuDir" Directory="ProgramMenuDir" On="uninstall" /> </Component> In test3.wxs - where shortcut is NOT created <Component Id='file1dll' Guid='ad42bd82-ac90-48f2-8db8-eab8a3921018' KeyPath="yes"> <File Id="file1.dll" Name=" file1.dll " Source="Normal\file1.dll "> Another thing I want to do is this If HKLM\software\myapp\myvalue does not exist, run extra features and custom actions?
