It's sounds like you're trying to do something like:
<CustomAction Id="MyCustomAction>
NOT Installed
</CustomAction>
But you can't put the conditional there. You have to put the conditional in a
<Custom> element in either the InstallExecuteSequence or the InstallUISequence
(or both).
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="MyCustom Action" After="CostFinalize">
NOT Installed
</Custom>
</InstallExecute Sequence>

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How To Run Custom Action During Install But Not During
Uninstall
I was trying to follow the step mentioned in this thread but on compiling I get
the following exception:
C:\...\xyz.wxs(204) : error CNDL0024 : The CustomAction element contains
illegal inner text: 'NOT Installed'. It may not contain inner text unless the
Script attribute is specified. make: *** [C:/.../Release/xyz i.wixobj] Error 24
The custom action that i have here is a managed c# dll and without any inner
text it is working perfectly fine. The only problem is that it is being called
both at install and uninstall time whereas I would like it to be called only
during the install time. I might be missing something here but I am not sure
where I went wrong and would appreciate any help. Thanks
