Software Deployment

put it in deferred execution, anywhere after the InstallFiles action.

Thanks for your reply. It works for me.
But facing one more issues due to the above solution
I am checking a condition in custom action. If my condition doesn't meet then I will Rollback the installation. But my
msi is not Roll-backing the installed files and other stuffs.

Below is the log message.
Calling custom action ATCustomActions!ATCustomActions.CustomActions.CheckPlatformAvailability
Begin of CheckPlatformAvailability method
1: C:\Windows\Installer\MSI2746.tmp-\ATCustomActions.dll
MSI (s) (80!08) [18:31:14:046]: Product: PCTDInstaller -- 1: C:\Windows\Installer\MSI2746.tmp-\ATCustomActions.dll

1: Return value is: 10
MSI (s) (80!08) [18:31:16:940]: Product: PCTDInstaller -- 1: Return value is: 10

1: Platform compatibility failed.

MSI (s) (80:24) [18:31:18:072]: Machine policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0

You're aware that only a limited number of properties exist in the deferred sequence? If your CA needs to check a property other than these special cases, you'll need to pass it using the special CustomActionData property. It's reasonably well documented on MSDN/TechNet.

Could you please help out me how to use CustomActionData in my scenario??

Thanks,
Sanjay

If the problem is not with the check, but just with the rollback not triggering, try having your custom action give a return code of 3 if the check fails. This should trigger RollBack.

Sure. Here you go.
