[WiX-users] FW: passing parameters through custom actions in C#
Hi,
I am trying to pass parameters from WIX to C# code, but I am not able to do
it properly. To code that I have written on WIX side is:
Property Id=teststring
![CDATA[Hello world]]
/Property
CustomAction Id=testing Return=check BinaryKey=test
DllEntry=hello/
Binary Id=test src=test.dll /
CustomAction Id=testing.setproperty Return=check Property=testing
Value=[teststring] /
InstallExecuteSequence
Custom Action=testing.setproperty After=InstallFiles /
Custom Action=testing After=testing.setproperty /
/InstallExecuteSequence
The code I have written in C# and compiled as a DLL is :
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace testing
{
public class test{
public static int hello(IntPtr handle)
{
int i;
int ptrcnt = 256;
//System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show( String.Format( Hello World
{0},handle) );
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(ptrcnt);
i = MsiGetProperty(handle,CustomActionData,sb,ref ptrcnt);
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show( String.Format ( {0},sb ) ;
return 0;
}
[DllImport(msi.dll, CharSet=CharSet.Unicode)]
static extern int MsiGetProperty(IntPtr hInstall, string szName, [Out]
StringBuilder szValueBuf, ref int pchValueBuf);
}
}
But I am not able to pass the property value to C#. I am compiling the code
as a dll and making necessary modifications in the ilcode to export
the method test. Can anyone please let me know if I am missing anything.
Thank you,
regards
balaji.

Re: [WiX-users] FW: passing parameters through custom actions in C#
Hi Richard,
Thank you. I will do so. My current problem with the code is
resolved. I have set the property execute = deferred and the code started
working properly.
CustomAction Id=testing Return=check BinaryKey=test DllEntry=hello
execute = deferred/
Thank you,
Regards
Balaji.

Baladji,
Be very careful using C# within a Microsoft Installer based installation
(like those generated using WiX). By doing so, you place an additional
dependency on the .NET framework, and has been discussed many times this is
a *bad thing*. Ideally you should choose something (e.g. C++) that can be
built to have minimal (ideally no) external dependencies.
As far as your code problem is concerned. it appears that you are setting a
property called testing, but your custom action is attempting to retrieve
one called CustomActionData. This might cause trouble. :-) I don't know if
what you posted is actually the code you are using, or if you sanitized it
first, but it would be worth checking.
Regards,
Richard

[WiX-users] backing up the existing files while installing
Hi, Our current requirement is something like this. Requirement(in WIX) : We are currently adding a component to the existing software. While installing the component, we need to take a backup of 2 files since they will be replaced with their latest versions. While uninstalling the component, we need to replace the newer versions with their older version counterparts. Can anyone please let us know if there are any properties that we can use in WIX that need to be set, rather than writing custom actions. You help is desperately sought. Thank you, Regards Balaji.
