Assuming your bootstrapper Setup.exe can pass arbitrary properties to MSI you would create a <Condition Message="Please run the Setup.exe First">NOT Installed OR MYINSTALLKEY</Condition> under your Product element and you pass MYINSTALLKEY=1 from your bootstrapper.
If your bootstrapper can't pass arbitrary properties, you need to use a different bootstrapper. What bootstrapper are you using? -----Original Message----- From: Prabhakaran Paulraj [mailto:prabhakaran_paul...@dynamicbi.com] Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 4:13 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] How to stop running an MSI directly instead from Setup Hi, I am using wix 2.0 and i am new to this. I am having a MSI Install.msi and a bootstrapper for the Install.msi as Setup.exe. I need to run the MSI only from the bootstrapper Setup.exe. If the user runs the Install.msi directly i should provide a message like 'Please run the Setup.exe First' and stop the installation. Is this possible? Any suggestions.
