Custom Action running upon Uninstall - shouldn't be
Hello all,
I have a custom action - run program from installation, Normal Execute Immediate/Deferred, Deferred - system context, Asynch No wait... it has the following condition statement:
NOT Installed OR REINSTALL OR ReinstallRepair
I basically want it to run everywhere BUT when uninstalling. However, the action IS running when I uninstall it. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Whilst I do not immediately see what's wrong with your current condition, I'd suggest replacing it with Not REMOVE~="All" to get the effect you desire.

Yeah, I thought what I had originally would have taken care of it too, but adding NOT REMOVE="ALL" to my condition did the trick. Thanks!

From memory, I think the 'Installed' state changes immediately an uninstall is selected and it's reinstated if the uninstall is rolled back.
A quick test with a simple MSI or a run through your tool's debugger would confirm if that's right.
