ARPINSTALLLOCATION is a property that people set to make their install location visible via supported MSI APIs. It doesn't get persisted into the uninstall environment unless you persist it, and the same is true of CUSTOMDIR. What are you trying to accomplish here?

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!
