WiX SetProperty - What are the possible values for Before/After attributes

Jaans picture Jaans · Oct 22, 2012 · Viewed 16.3k times · Source

Don't know why but I'm finding it difficult to track down what standard values could be used for the Before or After attributes of a WiX SetProperty declaration.

I'm aware of the following two, but I'm looking for a much more exhaustive list.

  • AppSearch
  • CostFinalize

Here's an example of it in use:

<SetProperty Id="INSTALLFOLDER.WEBSITECLIENT" Value="[INETPUBWWWROOT]\[VIRTUAL_DIR_VAL]" Before="Install" />

The manual / documentation page has nothing on it.
