Conditional registry deletion
I am new to Wise Package Studio, so please excuse me if this ? has been answered before.
I am using Wise Package Studio 6. Windows Installer Editor.
I have configured the removal of certain registry keys but I need to remove these keys only if a certain file exists.
I have set the search to look for the required file.
I am using an IF statement to perform other functions but how do I get the RemoveRegistry table entries to only be removed if the the IF statement is True?

Enter the Custom Action!
You can easily add a custom action with a VBScript which checks if the file exists and, if yes, takes the appropriate action.
Start de Windows Installer Editor, go to MSI Script, Execute Deferred tab.
After ScheduleReboot add a condition IF NOT REMOVE~="ALL" and betweet it and the End statement add the Custom Action "Call VBScript from Embedded Code".
Do your scripting thing...
On the Properties page of this Custom Action set "In-Script Options" to "Deferred Execution - System Context" and set "Processing" to "Synchronous, Ignore exit code".
There you go!

WildHair wrote a really nice article on Advanced custom action conditions. It has a really nice overview on conditions in general. It seems like you would be able to set a condition on the component containing your regremove based on the system search although I have never done this specifically before.
