Re: [WiX-users] Custom action was working now it isn't.... HELP...
When the native bit of DTF fires up the CLR it runs it's own class in the middle that has it's own try catch session.Log() block. If there was a bad image format exception this should have been caught in the MSI log. I suspect he didn't get this far. The first release or so of DTF had a current directory problem that broke the RunDLL() call. We had DTF custom actions that would change the current directory and when the sandbox got reused it would break. This was fixed though. Hard for me to say what the real problem was here without getting it in my lab and profiling it.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom action was working now it isn't.... HELP...
As a random guess based on the 1154 error, is it possible that there's some
C# code that is MSIL and so runs with the native bitness of the system,
but there's a dependency that is (say) 32-bit and the native code can't
call it? You'd expect BadImageFormatException somewhere if the chain is all
managed code, but assuming 1154 is correct then there's a Dll somewhere

Something we discussed today was how the CA log name when calling WcaInitialize() has a maximum of 32 characters - anything more than that and it fails with an "Insufficient buffer" error.

CustomAction CA_GetSQLServerInstanceName returned actual error code 1154 but
will be translated to success due to continue marking MSI (c) (A4:2C)
[14:57:56:375]: Closing MSIHANDLE (1) of type 790542 for thread 7552 Action
ended 14:57:56: CA_GetSQLServerInstanceName. Return value 1.
The custom action is straight forward:
CA: Getting SQL Server
instance name...
NOT
Installed
NOT Installed
Using a DTF custom action dll:
///
/// Gets the SQL Server Express instance name for the SERVER_NAME ///
/// Session session /// ActionResult Success
[CustomAction] public static ActionResult GetSQLExpressInstanceName(Session
session) {
try
{
if (session == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("session");
}
SetSessionProperty(session, "SQLSERVEREXPRESS_INSTANCE",
string.Empty);
const string Key = @"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Microsoft SQL
Server\\Instance Names\\SQL";
var localMachine = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(
RegistryHive.LocalMachine,
Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem ?
RegistryView.Registry64 : RegistryView.Registry32);
var regKey = localMachine.OpenSubKey(Key);
if (regKey != null)
{
foreach (var valueName in regKey.GetValueNames())
{
if (!string.Equals(valueName, "MSSQLSERVER"))
{
var expressKey = @"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Microsoft
SQL Server\\" + valueName;
var expressRegKey =
localMachine.OpenSubKey(expressKey);
if (expressRegKey != null)
{
SetSessionProperty(session,
"SQLSERVEREXPRESS_INSTANCE", "\\" + valueName);
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
WriteErrorLogInstall(session, "GetSQLExpressInstanceName
failed: ", ex, true);
}
return ActionResult.Success; }
Any ideas why this isn't working?
thanks,
Steve
