So what your saying is I can only do this as a custom action. I'm guessing that I would have to put this custom action high up in the execute order in order to stop the installation before any actions are taken to copy the files over to the computer in question. Would I do this after the execute action of SetARPinstalllocation? My next question would be what is the variable name for the installation path and can that variable even be used in a script and can I even use a script to stop the installation of the software and to kick off a dialog box? I am very new to this application so a lot of this stuff is alien to me.

I am looking at being able to have my install look in the folder that that was specified at the start of the install and if a particular folder or file exists then stop the install process and give a particular message. The folder or file will be located in the same directory that is chosen by the user to install the software into. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My current program is broken down into 2 parts. One if a full install of the application and the other is an upgrade. This is mostly done to help reduce the size of the upgrade file. However I do get people from time to time downloading the full install and using that. This however has become a problem due to a clean .dbc file that is included in the install and not the patch. This ends up overwriting the file and causing my application not to work. What I want to do is have IS 2012 determine that the folder exists, pop up an error message saying something along the lines of you already have installed the full version of this application, please download and run the upgrade and then exit out of the installation before any files are unpacked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
