Re: [WiX-users] Accessing Source directory in Deferred Custom Action (ApDataFolder etc. is working, just not SourceDir)
You need to be careful here because it may not always work. You have
impersonate="no" in your custom action so you're running with the local system
account. If you get to a situation where somebody is installing your setup from
a network share it's unlikely to work because the system account typically has
no network access rights, and SourceDir is your MSI file's network location.

Hi and halleluja
I finally managed to access the SourceDir Property in the CustomAction data.
The reason i could not access the SourceDir property earlier was simply that I
scheduled the customAction to assign the properties to the CustomActiondata to
early (It seems UI-sequence and execute sequence are different)
Here is what works:
Even though i like some aspectcs of msi (like the declarative approach), it
seems to me that it is far more complicated than it could have been. Wix is a
good start but - naturally - it cannot fully overcome the msi shortcomings. Or
maybe I should have become something else in life

Hi
Since I haven't managed to assign the [SourceDir] value to a customAction Data
Property, i tried to assign the data assign the value to a property and then
assign that property to the a customAction. However, no success, the assigned
property is empty. I am sure it is a simple syntax thing but i cant figure out
the solution :-(
Here is what i did:
Still no success. :-(
I have found a workaround to set a property but thats something i want to avoid
at any cost:
1. Define property "DUMMYPROPERTY"
2. Set property in C# custom action: session["DUMMYPROPERTY"] = "i get
assigned, jabadabadu";
3. Assign property to custom action data (as above)
So I am 100% sure that the syntax i use for the SourceDir property is wrong. It
must be something simple.
I am grateful for any help.

Re: [WiX-users] Accessing Source directory in Deferred Custom Action (ApDataFolder etc. is working, just not SourceDir)
The SourceDir is set by ResolveSource. The actions using this property
should be scheduled after this action (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371857(VS.85).aspx).

Hi
I still havent figured out how to solve my issue, but i have found a couple
of other aspects. As it seems, the built in property: [SourceDir] is,
depending at the time of exeuction, sometimes empty. In the execute
sequence, if i use a immediate custom action, scheduled after
InstallInitialize, the property "SourceDir" is empty (in C#:
session["SourceDir"]) . The log also states that the property is deleted,
however, recreated afterwards.
I start to believe that this is the reason why I have been struggling
accessing the property in a deferred custom action. Is it not possible to
access this property in the execute sequence? Or what would I have to do?
Greetings
(PS: by the way, the workaround in my prior mail does not work because the
SourceDir property is not set. Sorry for precipitating)

In a verbose installation log, what is the resulting value of the TestCA
property?

Subject: [WiX-users] Accessing Source directory in Deferred Custom Action
(ApDataFolder etc. is working, just not SourceDir)
Hi
I would like to access the "SourceDir" property in a deferred custom action.
While i can access other directories via the CustomAction property (see
example below). The SourceDir ActionData remains empty. I must be doing
something wrong. I sure it's something silly, that only a wix newby can
stumble over.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
My sample code:
In the C# code:
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult TestMethod(Session session)
{
session.Log("CustomAction TestMethod called!");
.
try{
// empty
string showMe = session.CustomActionData["SourceDir"];
// working, path
string showMe = session.CustomActionData["AppDataFolder"];
