I think I should add an Eligibility Condition, but I am stuck at how to check an installer property in the condition.

Hi Can I check how can we launch a package in Suite project conditionally? My Suite project has an option to install new MS SQL Express to the machine or to use an existing database server. I created a custom dialog which allows users to choose to install MS SQL or not, and then I saved their choice in a property. However, I do not know how to use this property to determine whether the Suite should launch the MS SQL package. Is there a different solution for my problem? Danny

I have a Suite project which consists of an MSI installer of my main application, and installers of few other third-party tools. Due to the project requirements, I have to hide all the entries of child installers in the "Programs and Features" in Control Panel, and show only the Suite installer entry. The problem I am facing right now is related to upgrade of the Suite project and the MSI installer particularly. I constantly need to upgrade my own MSI installer in the Suite for the customer, on the other hand, the third-party tools are more or less stable. I have implemented the major upgrade for the MSI Installer. When launching the MSI installer with newer version separately, everything works fine. However the Suite project is not "technically" upgraded, and the entry in "Programs and Features" still shows the older version. Of course, this is not I want to do. Now I want to implement something similar to "Major Upgrade" concept for the Suite project. Basically, the Suite installer with newer version will automatically uninstall the old child installers and install the new ones. Right now when I launch the Suite installer with newer version, it would show up the "Maintenance mode" dialog with Modify/Repair/Remove options. Could any of you advise me on this issue? Thanks a lot.

I have included an MSI package in a suite project, and I need to run this package in full UI mode to collect some information from user. However the suite installer always forces the MSI to run in silent mode. I wonder if there is any workaround for my situation. Right now all I can think of is to write a bootstrapper "setup.exe" to wrap up my MSI package, and include it in the suite.

But in deferred execution you can access the MSI properties directly. Check this for deferred custom actions. Thanks. I have found the solution which is to use CustomActionData 🙂

I am working on a basic MSI project. I have a custom action which downloads some information from a server and writes it to my install folder. At first i set the custom action to be "Immediately execution", but it failed to complete. Then I found out that the custom action needs to run with admin priviledge to create file under the folder in Program Files folder. I did a search and found a solution to set the CA as "Deferred Execution in System Context". However my CA cant access the MSI properties with this setting...! So I wanna ask if there is a setting for CA to run with admin right, and yet to be able to access MSI properties. Or did i miss something here? Thanks.
