Please help!! How to not execute custom actions during upgrade

I have defined some custom action. Ex. custom action = call a bat file. If user is upgrading the software, I don't want this action to run. How do I set it?
The "NOT Installed" option is used to make sure it only runs on initial installation only. But if someone were to upgrade... I won't know what else needs to be set. What is recommended? Please advise...

Thanks!!

Try to use ‘Detect Property”. This property is defined under ‘Advanced tab’ of major upgrade.

Thanks for your reply lambertpandian. I try to look for the Detect Property but couldn't find it. I have InstallShield 2008 Professional Edition.

Well, I think I got it to not run the custom actions during upgrade. I just added the "NOT Installed" (seems to be working now).

Thanks!!

during a major upgrade, "Installed" will not be set. during a minor upgrade, it will. To detect upgrades, use the [IS_MAJOR_UPGRADE] and [IS_MINOR_UPGRADE] properties.
