Fragments don't even exist in the MSI, they are only a WiX thing. The way you're using fragments makes the CA1 custom action be included in the MSI or not, depending on whether you refer to CG1 from another fragment or not (eg. from a Feature). Once the CA is included in the MSI, it won't be affected by the installation state of features or anything like that. I'm pretty sure you need the extra conditions to do what you want (but I don't know exactly how to do it). -- Nicolás ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.
