Re: Deployment project - conditional custom action

Linda,

I assume your talking about setting the condition property of the custom
action. The property appears to accept a text value --- is there an article
or some other information showing the syntax for how to use this property?

Also, I'm making a further assumption that the Installed property that your
speaking of is a property of the windows installer itself. If this is the
case and I'm testing the property in the commit cutom action, would it not
already be returning a value of true?

Hi Matt,

Based on my understanding, you'd like to add a condition based on whether
the MSI package is installed for the first time or not, on a custom
action.
If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.

The Installed property is initialized if the product is already installed
on the system. If you want to run a custom action only when the product is
first installed, you can use Not Installed as a condition.

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
