Re: [WiX-users] How to run wsf/vbscript files as Custom actions?

2007-10-18 Thread Wilson, Phil 
You've probably got an error in a script. You generally cannot run
scripts as if you were running them from the command prompt because the
command line run uses the Windows Script Host engine and MSI does not.
A typical error in a custom action is to call Wscript.Echo or
WScript.CreateObject or other WScript methods.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to run wsf/vbscript files as Custom actions?

 

Hi All,

 

I am able to set all the IIS Settings via the IISExtension for Wix 3.0.
Now, I need to set a few more settings which the extension doesn't
provide and hence would like to invoke a WSF file called iis.wsf which
sets additional settings of the website. When I include the file as a
Binary and invoke it in a custom action, I get the below error: 

 

MSI (s) (14:DC) [19:00:54:212]: Product: MS.ESPS.WebApps.Marketplace --
Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A
program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact
your support personnel or package vendor. Action: UpdateIISSettings,
location: C:\winnt\Installer\MSI33AB.tmp, command: cmohan-dev
C:\Depots\ESPS\mls\private\Deployment\iis\EdComWeb-dev.xml

 



 

The binary files are defined as :

 













 

In the similar lines, when I include a VBscript file, say
updateConfig.vbs, and include it in a customAction, it gives the same
error. If I change the VBScript to call a function then the sample
works, but I would like to run the script as if its run from command
prompt.

 

Any help on how to invoke the wsf and vbscript files would be highly
helpful. 

 

Thanks,

2007-10-18 Thread Richard 

A custom action can either be a DLL with an exported entry point,
or it can be vbscript/jscript.

It can't be a .wsf file.
