Custom Action after install
I want to run a custom action once, using self repair, when the user launches the shortcut to the applicaton for the first time.
Would I key off the reg entry that gets created by the custom action in the HKCU hive?
What would my conditions be for the CA? Installed AND NOT REMOVE?
Where would I sequence this CA?
Nick are you still here?

This sounds more like either activesetup or advertised shortcut. ActiveSetup will run a full repair the first time a user logs on to the machine since the installation, which means that your install requires a reboot. An advertised shortcut won't need a reboot, but that only does a feature-level repair when the app is launched.

Active Setup won't work in this situation. So I want to use an advertised shortcut to trigger self repair. I know how to create an advertised shortcut but I am not sure how to condition my CA to only run if repair is triggered. The CA runs an installed exe with parameters. - joedown 11 years ago
