Hi,



I am calling the function MsiInstallMissingComponent from a wrapper to the msi to fix a missing components and I noticed that all the custom actions that are in the UI sequence table are called during the call of this function.



If I have a custom action that I don't want to be called during the call of the function, is there a flag\property that I can use?



Thanks

I have done a couple of installs to Win98 machines and have found various components missing as is quite common for '98.

How do I get the setup to check to see if MDAC, JET and DCOM are available on the target machine, install if required and then install the actual application?

I have found that the Installer has a setting to check for the INSTMSIA.exe file so it must be able to do other checks...

Trying to download Windows Installer from this page but the link behind the word 'here' doesn't work but I think it's at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718352.aspx
