Hi: 
Can you give me some examples of WiX custom actions that modify machine state?
Cheers
Sean.

The custom action will run again. For data driven custom actions that modify 
machine state, the custom action should decide what to do (create, delete,
update) based on the action state of a Component. This is important because in 
repair you could have Components in all action states: none, install, uninstall.

The WiX custom actions that modify machine state all behave this way. You might 
take a look at them.
