[wix-users] Error when removing msi

[Imran baloch]

Hi Jacob,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry I am very new to wix.
 Actually my requirement was,
1) Add an entry in windows/drivers/etc/hosts file.2) Put files in a folder.3) Remove an windows service if exist and re install it.
I found on web I can use cmd. What else I can use?

Exe based CA’s are ugly at best.  Is there a reason you can’t author the changes as standard MSI actions?

Dear,
I have the following,
  <InstallExecuteSequence>      <Custom Action="ExecInstallService" Before="InstallFinalize" />      <Custom Action="ExecAddHostEntry" After="ExecInstallService" >NOT Installed AND NOT REMOVE</Custom>      <Custom Action="ExecRemoveService" After="ExecInstallService" >(NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) AND (REMOVE="ALL")</Custom>      <Custom Action="ExecDeleteFiles" After="ExecRemoveService" >(NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) AND (REMOVE="ALL")</Custom>    </InstallExecuteSequence>

<CustomAction Id='ExecRemoveService' Directory="INSTALLDIR" Execute="deferred" ExeCommand='cmd.exe /k "My.exe -remove & exit"' Return="check" Impersonate="no"></CustomAction>


But when there is no folder and I am getting error when removing. Is there is way to ignore if no folder exist,


Product: My Service -- Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: ExecInstallService, location: C:\Location\, command: cmd.exe /k "My.exe -remove & My.exe -install & exit"
