Hi,
How do we perform custom actions only when the user wants to uninstall?
How do we perform custom actions only when the user installs the software?
Thing is, I have a custom action, but this gets run on installation and on uninstall and I only need this during installation and not during uninstall.
I also need another action that should be run only on an uninstall, so how do we specify these conditions?
Thanks!

If you want an action only to run on installation (if the product is not installed already) use "Not Installed" as condition.
If you want a CA only to be run on uninstallation, you can use "REMOVE=ALL" as condition. But be aware that this will only be run on a full uninstallation and is only valid after the InstallValidate standard action.
If you allow repairing and/or modifying the installation and you have custom actions that would have to run depending on the installation/uninstallation of single features or components, please read the section "Conditional Statement Syntax" in the Windows Installer help file for detailed info.
