[WiX-users] DTF - Invalid data received from remote MSI function invocation
I have recently converted a custom action in my install to use DTF and C#. This specific custom action is launched from a dialog and confirms various things about SQL Server credentials, permissions, version etc. that were entered by the user on that dialog. When I execute this install on a Windows Server 2003 machine with SP1, it is currently executing correctly. When I execute on a Windows Server 2003 machine with SP2, I get the error Invalid data received from remote MSI function invocation. I had been seeing this message on both machines before, but have since stopped seeing it on the SP1 machine. When I could reproduce this exception on the SP1 machine and I debugged into the custom action code it was executing code to get a value from a property out of the session at a point where it had already gotten several property values exactly the same way without any issue, and also set property values in the session. string myProperty = session[MYPROPERTY]; Any ideas?

What is the value of MYPROPERTY ( msi log ) at the moment that you attempt to get it?nbsp; I'd like to see if I can mock this up and debug it.nbsp; Perhaps there is some kind of escaping problem. nbsp; Christopher Painter, Author of Deployment Engineering Blog Have a hot tip, know a secret or read a really good thread that deserves attention?

Re: [WiX-users] DTF - Invalid data received from remote MSI function invocation
I fixed a bug this week in the managed CA remote-invocation channel that is probably the cause of the exception you're seeing. Can you check if you can still reproduce the problem on today's build 3.0.4206? (It's not published yet, but should be there soon...) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amy Rosewater Sent: Friday, June 06, 2008 8:22 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] DTF - Invalid data received from remote MSI function invocation I have recently converted a custom action in my install to use DTF and C#.
