Hi Rob: I'm thinking the QAQuiet custom action, and the CustomActionData property. Also, how do I distinguish between a rollback and a standard custom action, is it just in the xml authoring or do I have to do something special in the ca itself. Cheers Sean.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Deferred vs Immediate custom action Certainly sounds like you are modifying machine state. If the user clicks cancel after the custom action runs, should the files be removed (probably "Yes" unless they are temp files in the temp folder)? If so, then you must be deferred and you need a rollback custom action. Which custom action in WixUtil (there are several)? Which properties? I expect the answer is no since it usually doesn't matter.
