You'd be way better off using a chainer. That being said, you're probably going to have to conditional the second install on the install states of a feature(s) or component(s) and create your own "Installed_Second" property to effectively mimic the behavior of "Installed."
You're going to hate yourself though when you try to update or patch things. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.(r) Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: ShitalKumar Mehta (Synergy Technologies LLC) [mailto:v-shm...@microsoft.com] Sent: Monday, February 27, 2012 1:08 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Concurrent Installations and Custom Actions Contrary to norm, I have implemented a concurrent installation scenario where one second install, user will go through my custom install dialogs. One last leg, I present them with "Install" button, which simulates what "VerifyReadyDlg" dialog's custom install option would do. <Control Id="Install" Type="PushButton" ElevationShield="yes" X="212" Y="243" Width="80" Height="17" Default="yes" Hidden="yes" Disabled="yes" Text="!(loc.VerifyReadyDlgInstall)"> <Condition Action="show">NOT Installed AND ALLUSERS</Condition> <Condition Action="enable">NOT Installed</Condition> <Condition Action="default">NOT Installed</Condition> <Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return"><![CDATA[OutOfDiskSpace <> 1]]></Publish> <Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="OutOfRbDiskDlg">OutOfDiskSpace = 1 AND OutOfNoRbDiskSpace = 0 AND (PROMPTROLLBACKCOST="P" OR NOT PROMPTROLLBACKCOST)</Publish> <Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return">OutOfDiskSpace = 1 AND OutOfNoRbDiskSpace = 0 AND PROMPTROLLBACKCOST="D"</Publish> <Publish Event="EnableRollback" Value="False">OutOfDiskSpace = 1 AND OutOfNoRbDiskSpace = 0 AND PROMPTROLLBACKCOST="D"</Publish> <Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="OutOfDiskDlg">(OutOfDiskSpace = 1 AND OutOfNoRbDiskSpace = 1) OR (OutOfDiskSpace = 1 AND PROMPTROLLBACKCOST="F")</Publish> </Control> This works fine, what works backwards for me now is that my CUSTOM ACTIONS for INSTALL don't work on 2nd Install, because they are coded to run when "NOT Installed". Also my Custom Actions for UNINSTALL only are now running on 2nd install onwards because they are coded to run when product is "INSTALLED". Here is how I have put logic to run custom actions. Any pointer to tweak this final thing would be greatly appreciated. What would do the trick for me would be to a pointer that would tell me, if there is alternate terminology for following two: <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action ="SetCustomActionDataValue" Before="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed </Custom> --This should run every time except on UNINSTALL through /X cmdline or Add Remove Program's 'Remove' option. <Custom Action="CustomAction1id" After="SetCustomActionDataValue">NOT Installed </Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action ="UninstallOnly" Before="InstallFinalize" /> <Custom Action="UninstallOnlyCA" After="UninstallOnly" > Installed </Custom> -- Here is where I want the Uninstall to work only when someone is explicitly uninstalling using /X or Add Remove programs "Remove" option. </InstallExecuteSequence> Thanks, Shital Mehta IT Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
