Regarding MSI Custom Action
Hi,
I want to hide the ARP entry of a shim that I have created using ACT. I have written a Custom Action using vbscript for including the SystsmComponent registry key in the MSI package.Custom Acion has been written in execute deferred mode by using call vbscript from Embedded code installation program and the condition given was 'NOT Installed'.when I install the application, the ARP entry is getting hidden but the problem comes when the application tries to self heal. During self healing, the ARP entry of the installed shim is being displayed. I have tried changing the install sequences but nothing worked out for me. Kindly help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Vivek V

The condition of the custom action which will hide the ARP entry should match with the condition that you have used for installing the Shim..
Hi,
Maybe, it's because the custom action not run during self heal. You could change the condition
Not Installed
by
Not REMOVE="ALL"
wouldn't it be easier to just add the ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT property to the MSI? Set it to any value (usually "1") to hide the ARP entry

No.. This will hide the ARP entry of the main MSI not the Shim's ARP Entry - jagadeish 12 years ago
