have tried with and without CDATA tags, but can't get the behavior I want regardless of what I do!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> <?define ProductName="myProdName" ?> ... <SetProperty Id="ARPINSTALLLOCATION" Value="[CUSTOMDIR]" After="CostFinalize" /> ... <Custom Action="myCustAct" After="RemoveFolders">Installed AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE AND (ARPINSTALLLOCATION >< $(var.ProductName)) </Custom> ... The installation works beautifully, myCustAct is properly ignored on installations and upgrades (as expected), but when doing a removal: myCustAct always runs regardless of whether or not ARPINSTALLLOCATION contains the var.ProductName !!! It should only happen when the product name is found in (a part of) the ARPINSTALLLOCATION string ... can someone clue me in on how to correct this to get the behavior I'm after? I've tried: with and without quotes, and while the installation always builds and runs properly, I'm not getting the proper behavior on removal. :( Help? :) -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Condition-based-on-a-string-in-custom-action-tp6739641p6739641.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
