Hi John, Ah that makes sense, I didn't know that. The component is a registry value and gets set on a key dialog, on a new install the key dialog will always get shown as there is no unlock key in the registry and that is what is needed to unlock the software. However on a repair I only show the dialog if the unlock key is not in the registry, i.e. if it got corrupted/deleted.
I wanted to place a condition on the component as on a repair if the key dialog is not shown the registry value is not being set and I get an error when trying to write it. What certain circumstances are there?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Condition on components validation Well, on a "Repair", a previously installed component is going to be reinstalled. By default, component conditions are considered only once. You'd need to make the Component Transitive. But then you're going to run into the situation where the component may uninstall under certain circumstances during "Repair." Why are you trying to block reinstall of that Component on "Repair"? -- 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: Natalie Carr [mailto:natalie.c...@measuresoft.com] Sent: Monday, August 19, 2013 10:34 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Condition on components validation I have a conditional component and the conditional statement is created via a custom actin that is run in the Install Execute Sequence before the CostFinalize action. However the component is always getting installed regardless of the condition. My Condition: <Condition>PROMPTLOCKMODE = "0"</Condition> I have checked my log and it shows the validation property being set properly to 1 which then my component should not be getting installed but it is and this is the component in the log. LockEntries; Installed: Local; Request: Local; Action: Local This is on a repair. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
