Script shall only run by install
Hi,
I use a script for un- and install and I want that one action only execute when the product will be installed. my if clause is like that:
If Session.Property("Installed") <> "" or Session.Property("ProductState") = "1" Then
and I also tried
If Session.Property("Installed") = ""
but then it still runs by selfrepair and uninstall too
Can please somebody help me with that?
Thx

You should condition the action OUTSIDE of the action itself.
- Save a copy of your package for back-up purposes
- Remove the tests you have in the script itself
- Find the action in the InstallExecuteSequence table
- Add the condition 'If Not Installed'
- Save the package
- Test

hey, thx for the quick answer. I just had to change the "ProductState" to "-1"

...which means that you're still doing it the wrong way. You may notice that I have edited my response because, of course, that condition ought to have been 'If Not Installed'. Sorry about that. I should also have explained that case is important with conditions, particularly the word 'Installed'.

ought to have been 'If Not Installed'- I think VBScab meant just 'Not Installed' [;)]
