[Habib Salim]

John,
Thanks for the help.
Sorry for the late reply - I got distracted by another project and dropped
the ball on thanking you.

Good Morning.



I have a custom action in my installer that prompts the user to select an
image file - a logo that will be used by the application.

The path to the image file is then stored in the application.config file.

(relavant code pasted below)



This works when I run the installer but it also runs on uninstall
(although it does nothing)

It also runs whenever a new user open the application for the first time.



How do I ensure that this opens only on the first install?



Regards

Habib
