Hi All,
I am trying to setup a custom UI for an installer and I have run into a
problem that I don't seem to be able to find a way around.
I am trying to give the user the ability to enter their Private Key (which
is in xml and rather long) which is saved in the config file in my
application. There
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the reply. I could get it done using the UILevel property. :)
But, I am still unable to run the console application silently.
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Sandun

I have a variety of MSIs that all include the same several custom tables. I
would like to move this custom table to some type of WiX Library and then
just have the MSIs reference this table and add in their own rows. I've
actually structured it so that the MSIs just create some list that the

would like to be able to have my installation go to a different drive (other
than the system drive) via a commandline parameter that is passed to msiexec.
Here is a snippet of the wxs code I’m currently using:
Use Session.GetMode(InstallRunMode) -- it's just a very thin wrapper around the

Using DTF, how do you determine if the custom action is being executed as
either immediate or as deferred?

Actually, you shouldn't have to worry about that. Any semicolons in your data
will be automatically escaped (doubled) and unescaped as necessary for

Do you need to use WixShellExec to launch the app? If not, just use a
CustomAction with FileKey. Otherwise, try SuppressModularization, but be
aware that means your module will conflict with any other
WixShellExecTarget.

MSI always reserves space for temporary, secure copies of the MSI,
including CABs. This is one reason Windows warns when you get low on
space on drive C.

1.) session["PropertyName"] will access the property you're looking for.
2.) Call session.DoAction("ActionName", CAData)
3.) I don't know that you can. Can't you just put that in the CAData?
