Can anybody suggest why its not working... savy17 wrote: I am creating an Basic MSI installer. I need to make sure that the application that I am installing is not currently running. In order to do so, I created a VBScript which checks whether the application is running or not. If the application is running, it displays a message box asking the user to close the application. The messagebox has two buttons Retry and Cancel. When Retry is clicked, I am calling same function recursively to verify that the user has closed the application. However if the user clicks cancel, I want to abort the installation. If my Hello World.exe is running, it shows the message box with two buttons. If I close the application now and then click Retry again, it proceed with the installation. However, Cancel seems not working correctly. If the message box is displayed very first time and user clicks 'Cancel', it aborts the installation. However if user clicks Retry (without closing the application) one or more time, and then afterward click Cancel, it doesn't abort the application. Any suggestion what I am doing wrong.

I figured it out. Execution condtion were not correct for remove custom action. Also, instead of checking for component, now I am checking for feature. The condition that I have set are for Add, &Feature1=3 and for remove &Feature1=2 savy17 wrote: I am using Basic MSI. In my insaller, I have a feature and 2 subfeatures under this feature. By default, all the featuers and subfeatures are set not to install. So I set the install level for the feature and all 2 subfeatures to 200 (which is greater than INSTALLLEVEL value). I have 4 custom action related to these 2 subfeatures. Two for each subfeature. Say for first subfeature Feature1, I have two custom actions CAFeature1Add and CAFeature1Remove. and for second subfeature Feature2, I have CAFeature2Add and CAFeature2Remove. During installation, if subfeature is selected, its related "Add" custom action needs to be run and if subfeature is not selected, its related "remove" custom action needs to be run. So if Feature1 is selected and Feature2 is not selected, then custom actions CAFeature1Add and CAFeature2Remove needs to be executed. I have set the condition to execute these custom actions as $feature1.dll=3 for CAFeature1Add and $feature1.dll<>3 for CAFeature1Remove. feature1.dll is present only when Feature1 is installed. Similar conditions check for $feature2.dll is done for Feature2 custom actions The behavior that I am seeing is - During fresh install, all the features in feature selection dialog are shown as do not install. If I choose to say install Feature1 and leave Feature2 as not install, the custom action that will be running are CAFeature1Add and CAFeature2Remove. Now during maintenance mode during modify, if I chose to say also install Feature2 (so at this stage, both features are set to install. Feature1 already installed, Feature2 set to install), the custom action that runs are CAFeature1Remove and CAFeature2Add. But actually it should have run CAFeature1Add and CAFeature2Add because Feature1 is still selected. I can see the dll for feature1 is still there but the custom action condition returns false condition. BUT if I simply click on Feature1 selection tree without changing it (i.e. Feature1 is still said to be install as it has been installed during first time install, I simply clicked on that feature selection tree only), then I see that CAFeature1Add is called now... Seems once the feature is clicked, then only correct condition is triggered I even tried with checking for feature name instead of component for execution condtion but still same result...

Hidenori, I still have one issue. With the vbscript that you gave, it works fine when I click the browse button on SQL Login page. It opens list box without SQLEXPRESS instances. However if you click on the combo box (drop down control), you can still be able to see SQLEXPRESS instance of local server and it shows two entries 1. (local)\MyInstance 2. (local)\SQLEXPRESS Instead I would like to see only MyInstance. So (local)\MyInstance. I guess I would have to write another vb script to do that but don't know which properties to modify. Can you please suggest me what to do to get this? Thanks, ... View more

Thanks for the reply. However I am getting Error 2762. Cannot write script record. Transaction not started. So far what I have done is: Created a VB Script with the code that you have given.

Hi hidenori, Thanks for your reply. I tried as you said. Created a VBScript and in Custom Action, said to Run the VBScript stored at Binary. Its Install Exec Sequence is set to execute 'After InstallInitialize' However it is making no changes. I can see (local)\SQLEXPRESS instance in the Browse button. I also tried to run this custom action through DOAction event on the Browse Button on SQLLogin dialog but no effect. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Also, from the IS_SQLSERVER_LIST, I would like to filter out all the SQLEXPRESS instances. Be it (local)\SQLEXPRESS or somecomputer\SQLEXPRESS on network like Computer1234\SQLEXPRESS, Computer1235\SQLEXPRESS. To acheive this, what changes need to be made to the script function?
