You could try using the CustomTable element to supersede the built-in definition of the CustomAction table. However, it would be preferable to investigate moving to WiX 3.0 as it has been RTM for over a half year and has better support for what you are trying to achieve.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Question regarding the behaviour of custom actions during patch uninstall Thanks. We've built our MSI using wix 2.0 and if I edit the MSI using orca I don't see the ExtendedType column in the custom action table but If I look at any MSI which was built using Wix 3.0 and If I edit it using orca I can see the ExtendedType column in the MSI. So if we are using Wix 2.0 how can I add the ExtendedType option to the custom action which I want to run during Patch uninstall? -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 7:25 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Question regarding the behaviour of custom actions during patch uninstall During patch uninstall, the patch's modification to the MSI's view is no longer available, so what you see is "by design". Windows Installer 4.5 added something called "Custom Action"/"Patch Uninstall" behavior (I don't remember the order of the terms, use both strings in your search query). The PatchUninstall attribute of the CustomAction element taps into that mechanism. -----Original Message----- From: Anurag Pahwa [mailto:apa...@microsoft.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 1:37 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Question regarding the behaviour of custom actions during patch uninstall Hi, I've scenario where I've added a couple of custom actions as part of the patch and sequenced them in during install as well as the uninstall. Now during patch install the custom actions are executed properly but during patch uninstall none of the patched custom actions are executed. Is this by design?
