So I assume that the AddLocal and Remove events wouldn't function if I ran the UI earlier? That certainly isn't documented anywhere that I can find. It is certainly the case that ADDLOCAL and REMOVE can be set before CostFinalize for example on the command line so I am surprised. The nearest to a reference I can find is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367842(v=vs.85).aspx - is that what you are referring to?
The whole thing of having two almost independent and mutually exclusive ways of specifying if components and features should be installed really confused me when I first came to WiX and I still have to experiment to find out how things work in real world cases. I am reduced in most cases to programming by trial and error and hoping I don't end up relying on a bug or accidental feature which will disappear in a later version which is unpleasant. I haven't found any documentation which says that you can re-run the standard actions and it is an approach I would never have thought of. I would expect the effect of re-running them would be un-defined behaviour messing up your whole installation at worst and a crash at best. I'd certainly expect lots of custom actions scheduled after CostFinalize to get rather confused - would they get run twice? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Why-is-WiX-UI-executed-after-CostFinalize-tp6047911p6053067.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk Collect, index and harness all the fast moving IT data generated by your applications, servers and devices whether physical, virtual or in the cloud.
