Stop a CustomAction from running

[tdexter]

I need to stop a CustomAction from running.

The background is a Standalone and Network install. If I check the button for a Standalone install there are 2 folders to install to, INSTALLDIR and CommonFilesFolder. If the Network button is pressed I would like the CommonFilesFolder folder to be the same as the INSTALLDIR.

From a previous post called, Adding a Root Level Folder, I set up a CustomAction to rename CommonFilesFolder to INSTALLDIR.

I just cannot seem to figure out how to stop the CustomAction from being executed if the Network button is pressed.

Use a condition on the custom action's component. I'm not sure on the details you're describing but it sounds like perhaps you could test whether CommonFilesFolder and INSTALLDIR are the same?

I made a mistake when setting up the CustomAction. Instead of the Scheduling being Immediate- First Sequence, I had it set as Immediate. So no matter what the CustomAction was run. So the new issue is trying to get the CustomAction to execute at all. I tried "DoAction" in the published events of a button, but no luck. I know I am missing something.
