Yes we defined those, but it wasn’t picking them up. I’m not wanting to bother you good people with our own bug finding exercise if the problem is of our own making, I’m more looking in to what we should be doing. If those are the three items that should make it work then we can look in to that – I assume these sorts of things are included in the msi log?
We had DetectionCondition set to ‘1’ which we thought would always force it to run – is that correct?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] One-Time Reboot in Burn Executable Hi, Did you set an UninstallCommand and RepairCommand for your ExePackage. You also should provide a DetectCondition, so that burn can detect if your exe is installed or not. Markus > Adam Roper <adam.ro...@guidance.eu.com<mailto:adam.ro...@guidance.eu.com>> > hat am 7.
