There is no such thing as a CustomAction in the context of burn. If you can't use a combination of the existing searches (Registry/Component/Directory/Product/File) you either need to extend the existing BA/UX or write your own, neither of which are trivial.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] custom actions in burn? So from your answer it sounds like you cannot really use <Custom Action...> in burn? I have 2007/2010/2013 Outlook and 32 bit/64 bit checking for the bitness isn't simple, we have a custom action dll that does that for us and returns a MSI property (which I use in the MSI) Steve -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: October-31-12 12:29 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] custom actions in burn? I imagine that a Burn custom action would be part of the code of a custom bootstrapper application that would set a variable during the appropriate event. Could you not use a util:product search or utilL:registry search to determine which outlook is installed ? Save you a lot of work unless you've already got a custom BA. -----Original Message----- From: StevenOgilvie [mailto:sogil...@msn.com] Sent: 31 October 2012 16:21 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] custom actions in burn? Hi all, I have a product that installs a 32 bit version and 64 bit version installer (two .msi) I have a custom action in product.wxs that determines the "bitness" of Microsoft Outlook (whether the user installed 32 bit or 64 bit version of Outlook, our product is an add-in). so I have 2 msi's, but only 1 should kick off from burn, can you write custom actions in Bundle.wxs? if so what would I set the condition sequence to? i.e. <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="RunPrerequisiteCheck" After="CostFinalize">NOT Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> <InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="RunPrerequisiteCheck" After="CostFinalize">NOT Installed</Custom> </InstallUISequence> thanks, Steve -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/custom-actions- in-burn-tp7581691.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Everyone hates slow websites.
