Sorry to bother again, but im stuck again. I've got several CAs which i need to execute, when mainApp is installed (primary installation, repair), but i can't find right condition. When i use "&mainApp=3", then the CAs are not executed during repair. Do you have an idea how such a condition should look?
Thanks.
