Re: [WiX-users] C# Custom Action Fails when Inserting Temoporary Rows.
The scenario I am trying to handle is the cancel during uninstall. If I were to just bomb the folder the rollback wouldn't work and it would delete the folder anyway. I am going to try and see if I can pressure the team into using 3.6. Don't know if it will be an issue or not. Initially they said no but maybe I can get them to budge. --Brian -Original Message- From: McCain, Jon [mailto:jon.mcc...@inin.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 8:10 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

That's a false economy: The time it would take to validate a WiX v3.6 drop is dwarfed by the time to write a custom action, much less a good one. 2. So reuse the WiX v3.6 code, as much as you can. For example, you could use the CA DLL without taking the compiler extension. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.

Re: [WiX-users] C# Custom Action Fails when Inserting Temoporary Rows.
Sure. In .NET you use try catch blocks rather then checking the exit code
of functions. In DTF, the View class (and others) will raise an
InstallerException which then exposes the GetErrorRecord() method which is
a wrapper for MsiGetLastErrorRecord().

I'm hoping that someone can help me out. I cannot seem to figure out why

Re: [WiX-users] C# Custom Action Fails when Inserting Temoporary Rows.
Okay so the folders/files are then classified as customer data which is why
RemoveFile wouldn't work since you don't actually lay those files down. At
least that is how I am reading your response.
If that is the case then you shouldn't need to worry about being a good install
writer and just whack the folder or its subfolders that you don't control with
your install.
