What I did when debugging some of my DTF code was put a call to
Debugger.Launch() right at the beginning of my custom action. At that
point, I could easily attach and step through the code with the debugger.

There is a way using Environment variables to set a breakpoint, but I've
found that to be more trouble than it's worth. You can put a call at the
beginning of your CA to MessageBox.Show, and then when that pops up, you can
attach to the process then. Make sure you attach to the CA managed
process, not the installer process.

Re: [WiX-users] Debugging a DTF Managed Custom Action
I just tried both techniques the one Chris mentioned is how I've always
debugged my managed custom actions but it did not work with DTF for some
reason. The Debugger.Launch method did pop up the visual studio launch
dialog but it could not step into the code.

I keep the .dll and pdb files in the same location but there is no pdb for
the .dll generated from MakeSFXCA application.

That might be a problem with symbols. Did you keep your DLLs and PDB files
in their original locations after you built them?

[WiX-users] Error 2769: Custom Action Install did not close 1 MSIHANDLEs.
I'm running a WIX install on a Vista box and I get the below error when I run a custom action. The action runs fine on an XP box. I am running the installer with elevated privileges from an administrator account. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this. I am running build 3.0.4624.0.

Re: [WiX-users] Error 2769: Custom Action Install did not close 1 MSIHANDLEs.
Very strange, I put a little messagebox popup after the very last line of my custom action Install call and it went all the way through without exceptions and showed my custom message. I also get this very nice empty dialog box that pops up at the end. -Original Message- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 2:51 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
