Re: [WiX-users] Reading contents of a text file

2009-09-29 Thread Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)
You'll have to stick with a custom action for that. To read a text  
file, I'd just use VBScript to read the text file ( fso.OpenTextFile 
(...).ReadAll ) and store it in a property (if it's a short text).  
Otherwise it depends on your purpose.

Re: [WiX-users] Reading contents of a text file

There is a crude native C++ custom action here (
http://wixml.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=263) called
Property Loader. It allows you to read and replace text in a text file.
However, it doesn't support rollback.

Thanks,
