Hi

I have a custom action that relies on some files to be there.
I tried to use a "System Search" to ensure existence of these files but
the search was not rerun after the files were copied in the install.

If I run the action (custom actions) without condition I can not uninstall the program
because it tries to run it in the uninstall too (after the files wre deleted).

Is there condition to test whether msi is in uninstall mode ?

Or is there a better way to run costim actions in my case ?

ciao
Stephan

Off the top of my head:

Check for Uninstall: REMOVE=ALL

Check for not fresh install: Installed

Check for fresh install: Not Installed

Check for major upgrade : UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE

Check for admin rights: AdminUser

Check for elevated rights: Privileged

Etc... Check the MSI SDK for more details on other useful properties.
