[wix-users] Need some help fixing this Burn script...

[Mike Franchitti]

Edwin,

Thanks a lot - I am now using the DetectCondition & InstallCondition
properly.

My script is still trying to execute installers in the chain multiple
times. To be specific - it asks me to install Gazepoint, Consensys, etc...
two times during a single run of the burn installer...
