So I've spent a lot of time looking at this, with no luck so far. It looks
like my problem is that states change during the execution, and there is no way
for me to get the following behavior:
1. On first install, run my custom action to install the service
2. On uninstall, run my
I agree, not much disagreement. The way I look at it though is that
InstallFinalize doesn't really do anything other then execute script generated
by something else. For example if I wrote and scheduled a commit CA that did
something ( good or bad ) it might be being done inside InstallFinal
I don't think there's much disagreement here. As I (and the documentation)
said, it's InstallFinalize that does the commit, and I wasn't referring to any
of the other things that are associated with the term "commit". I specifically
mean that InstallFinalize is where fusion gets called to commi
I'm curious about this also. I've never really been asked to do driver
installation work and someone recently asking me to do this. They seemed to
be very fixated on the ability to write driver co-installers in C++. Is this
correct thinking or not? It seems with the declaritive nature
If you read Stefan's article ( which I'm sure you have ) commit execution is
really for cleaning up rollback information and isn't even run when rollback is
disabled by policy. Seing how MsiPublishAssemblies is a `Standard` action

It's not MsiPublishAssemblies, just in case someone is tempted to try moving
StartServices so that it's after MsiPublishAssemblies but before
InstallFinalize. It's InstallFinalize where the commit actions take place,
including the GAC assemblies.

Thank you.
That helped!!

Hina,
Looks like a small typo - your error indicates ($var.HelpSourceFolder),
the correct format is $(var.HelpSourceFolder). The dollar sign needs to
be outside the parenthesis. :-)

Thanks for your reply. I tried it but it gives

I made sure that specified file exists at the specified path. Is there any

Hina,
It sounds as if what you really want is a standard preprocessor
variable.
Try something like this:

The mechanism shown above allows you to specify a
default value for the setting, and also override that setting from the
command line using (for example) candle

Is drvutil.dll your own DLL or are you using a third party dll? Googling the
name seems to imply that it might be from an APC SDK and in that case it's very
unlikely to follow Type 1 standard call declaration.You would have to
create a wrapper CA that invoke the APC DLL and pass the result
Richard,
Thanks for the reply. I am trying to specify the source folder at build
time. Rather than hard coding the path to pull the files for installation, I
need to set the path variable. So that if I change the source folder, I just
need to redefine the path variable & rebuild the installer.

Hina,
The $(env.Whatever) construct is used to pull a setting from the system
environment at build time.
The element is used to configure an environment setting on
the machine where the installation is performed.
The "correct" answer will depend on what you are actually trying to
accomplish. Ar

How are the Directory elements defined? If the Directory element for
ANOTHERDIR is under the Directory element for INSTALLDIR, then changing
INSTALLDIR is expected to change ANOTHERDIR as well.

The installer extracts the dll to the temporary location in order to
call the custom action and then deletes the temp file. The actual error
is in calling the custom action or in the custom action itself.

Sorry. I'm sure there was some really good reason why they wrote
MsiPublishAssemblies that way ( I don't buy the rollback reason getting it
to work at all is more important then getting it to rollback IMO ), but it
really stinks since installing in the Commit phase doesn't match the expec
