Hi Maksim,
Thanks for updating me.
I had also tried to put uninstall CustomAction in InstallExecuteSequence , but
that does not work in my case.
What I am doing in Custom Action is to run a tool that will uninstall some
child MSIs.
So when Custom Action executes on uninstall my tool fails to uninstall child
MSIs with return code 652(means: Another installation is already in progress.
Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.)
Below is my custom action:
<CustomAction Id='RemoveSecondMSI' Directory="INSTALLDIR"
ExeCommand='"D:\Test Programs\UninstallTool.exe"' Return='ignore'
Execute='immediate' />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='RemoveSecondMSI' After='InstallFinalize'>Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Thanks,
AK.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action on uninstall does not run
>From Windows Installer documentation:
"The InstallUISequence table lists actions that are executed when the top-level
INSTALL action is executed and the internal user interface level is set to full
UI or reduced UI. The installer skips the actions in this table if the user
interface level is set to basic UI or no UI."
On uninstall basic UI level is set, so InstallUISequence does not run.
If you want some action to be executed in any UI you have to add it to
InstallExecuteSequence. (On installation user can use '/q' flag for msiexec,
and InstallUISequence also will be skipped).
Maksim.

Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Action on unistall does not run
Hi,
I'm just running an custom action on uninstall, but I notice that one
of my custom actions isn't running during the uninstall.
I've put it in the UIInstallSequence thus:
<InstallUISequence>
<Custom Action="MyUninstallAction"
After='ExecuteAction'>Installed</Custom>
</InstallUISequence>
But it doens't seem to run.
What I've seen implies that the UI sequence isn't run on an add/remove
programs uninstall. Is that really the case?
Really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
AK.
