Hi,
I'm using WiX 3.0.4805.0, and I have a setup that install a database with

I was able to install on several machine configurations, but it

Hi everone.
In my msi I have a custom action of type 50. The custom action is run if the
user in a dialog chooses to cancel the installation to instead start an
installation of SQL Express 2005 (which in some cases is a prerequisite). The
installation of SQL Express is started
I have at custom action written using DTF and the session.Log() method
doesn't write to the MSI log file if the custom action is called in the
UI sequence. Is this a bug or is it not possible to log in the UI
sequence?

You can't log if the action is based off a button click, otherwise it should
work.

WiX doesn't support making a companion file the KeyPath because the MSI SDK
says not to. From the Companion Files topic: Note that a file that is the key
path for its component must not be a companion file.

I'm pretty sure that the Windows Installer uses CreateProcess internally to
execute type 50 custom actions. So, it will always execute the new process at
the same level as the Windows Installer process. If it's running out of the UI

After that, you need to come up with a new KeyPath for your Component... or
merge the Components together. The latter is the most ideal from a companion
file point of view, but does create servicing
It is a button click, I take it this is an MSI limitation.

Yes, unless it's deferred and no-impersonate, which wouldn't work in
this case because SQL Express would try to start an illegal nested

Your directory structure should look something like this:

Thank you Brian. I figured out how to get the data from the binary table. But
I'm still not able to find how to append data to the custom action data.
Also, I'm getting return code 6(I'm guessing invalid handle) for
MsiGetProperty(). I don't recall any change to my code which would cause
this.
