I'm making an installation with WiX that have a "Launch an application after install" checkbox. The goal is to have a reaction on settting the checkbox as well as on unsetting the checkbox. In case the checkbox is set, I need to run an application. In case the checkbox is not set, I need to run the same application but with command line argument.
Here is a part of my WiX script.
<CustomAction Id="StartConfigManagerOnExit"
FileKey="ParamsShower.exe"
ExeCommand=""
Execute="immediate"
Impersonate="yes"
Return="asyncNoWait" />
<CustomAction Id="StartUpgradeConfigOnExit"
FileKey="ParamsShower.exe"
ExeCommand="/upgrade"
Execute="immediate"
Impersonate="yes"
Return="asyncNoWait" />
<UI>
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialogEx"
Control="Finish"
Order="1"
Event="DoAction"
Value="StartConfigManagerOnExit">LAUNCHAPPONEXIT = 1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialogEx"
Control="Finish"
Order="1"
Event="DoAction"
Value="StartUpgradeConfigOnExit">LAUNCHAPPONEXIT = 0</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialogEx"
Control="Finish"
Event="EndDialog"
Value="Return"
Order="999">1</Publish>
<Dialog Id="ExitDialogEx"
Width="370"
Height="270"
Title="[ProductName] Setup">
<Control Id="LaunchCheckBox"
Type="CheckBox"
X="135"
Y="190"
Width="220"
Height="40"
Property="LAUNCHAPPONEXIT"
Hidden="yes"
CheckBoxValue="1"
Text="Launch an app">
<Condition Action="show">NOT Installed</Condition>
</Control>
</Dialog>
<InstallUISequence>
<Show Dialog="ExitDialogEx"
OnExit="success" />
</InstallUISequence>
<AdminUISequence>
<Show Dialog="ExitDialogEx"
OnExit="success" />
</AdminUISequence>
</UI>
An installation starts the application when LaunchCheckBox is set. But it doesn't run it in case the checkbox is not set.
I've found an answer. Looks like checkbox property is not equal to 0 when unchecked. Simply change the condition "LAUNCHAPPONEXIT = 0" with "NOT LAUNCHAPPONEXIT" solves the situation.
Make default:
<Property Id="LAUNCHAPPONEXIT" Value="1" />
Then correct the conditions (corrected with sascha's comment):
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialogEx" Control="Finish" Order="1" Event="DoAction" Value="StartConfigManagerOnExit">LAUNCHAPPONEXIT</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialogEx" Control="Finish" Order="1" Event="DoAction" Value="StartUpgradeConfigOnExit">NOT LAUNCHAPPONEXIT</Publish>
