Codes in deferred custom action cannot directly access MSI database.
In the function, you can only read "CustomActionData" property, of
which value is set as the name of the custom action.
For example, to transfer the data to the deferred custom action named

Hello:
I had a Wix related question and thought someone on this alias could help me
with this. For my application, I need to add a program files menu item that

Hi,

Is this something I should care about? After all, the column is limited
(according to Orca) to 255 chars which is not enough given

This will work because I don't have a change mode or any options to choose
