Why No condition for RegisterComPlus?

[tomerdr]

Hi.I am creating my own custom action to register com+ components.

I wonder why windows installer 'RegisterComPlus' doesnt have any condition?
Shouldn't it run only when installing?

Is this suggest that the action itself check the status of the installation and the status of each feature?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not certain about COM+ specifically, but a common practice for these types of actions is to walk the components (or features) with relevant data, and perform operations based on the action state of the component. Thus while the action itself always runs, it will only perform installations for components that are being installed, etc.
