this what i did under MSI script , Execute program from the Installed Files .. applicaton .exe"/s IPAddress:port;DL" ..... it works fine if i want to install but while uninstalling it comes up with error 1721.... i guess i have put if statement or something like that.. do u have any idea what it would be ?

So I gather from what you are saying is that you've created a custom action which you only want to run on install..?
If so you need to set the following condition on it: NOT Installed
If you want the CA to run on install or repair you could try this condition: NOT REMOVE~="ALL"

Yes you need to set the condition with an If NOT Installed / End If around your CA in MSI Script Editor.

Have you created a log to prove that the 1721 error is caused by your CA?
If you've set the conditions correctly the CA will only be executed on install and would be ignored during uninstall...

Please post your CA entry from the CustomAction and InstallExecuteSequence tables so we can see how you have added the custom action.

Here you go,
MSI script, execute program from Installed files:
CA Name : install
Executable files: application.exe
Command Line Arguments: applicaton .exe/s IPAddress:port;-DL
End
IF NOT INSTALLED then
Execute Installed Program application.exe Command line applicaton .exe /s Adress:port;DL
End
InstallFinalize
End

End
IF NOT INSTALLED then
Execute Installed Program application.exe Command line applicaton .exe /s Adress:port;DL
End
InstallFinalize
End

do not enter Installed in upper letter, should be "Installed"
remove the last End statement.
remove the last End statement.

Execute Installed Program application.exe Command line applicaton .exe /s Adress:port;DL
End
InstallFinalize
End
IF NOT Installed then
Execute Installed Program application.exe Command line applicaton .exe /s Adress:port;DL

"Not Installed" means that the CA (CustomAction) will run on installation and "REMOVE="ALL" will run on uninstallation
if the CA that runs the application.exe on install, installs something on the client you will have to add a CA on uninstallation that will reverse the action the application.exe made.

well, not quite
if "applicaton .exe /s Adress:port;DL" will make changes to the client that command wouldn't reverse on an uninstallation just make the same changes, wouldn't it ;)
Lets make an example:
"setup.exe /install" would be used on Installation (Not Installed)
"setup.exe /remove" would be used on UnInstallation (REMOVE="ALL")
if "applicaton .exe /s Adress:port;DL" will make changes to the client that command wouldn't reverse on an uninstallation just make the same changes, wouldn't it ;)

Are you sure? that would mean that the application.exe is a wrapper and it shouldn't work to execute two msi installation in the same session.
Please verify that this isn't so.
