Re: [WiX-users] Calling a managed custom action from a UI control

Hi Blair, No log entries, unfortunately. I've let my installer sit spinning for about 20-30 minutes. I could let it sit longer but I don't think that would help. I'm going to try my installer on a Windows 2000 Professional workstation when I have a chance today. Let me know if there's

Hi Blair, Thanks for the tips... I'll see what happens when I get rid of the merge modules first. I am using cab reuse, but it seems that I have to be careful, especially if I build in parallel - one build will trash another build's cached cab. - Brian Brian Gillespie Rhinoceros

Are you really cranking up all this infrastructure just to see if a directory exists? There's got to be a simpler way, even if it's only a horrible little VBScript 10 line custom action. At least that is natively supported by Windows Installer. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From:

You are absolutely right. I just wanted to keep all my custom actions in the same DLL. I have two other actions for encrypting and decrypting the .config files. I switched my code to a VBScript and it works nicely. Here's the script if anyone is interested: Function DirectoryExists() Dim

Let me amend that. I'm not sure if it is a or i. Most of the time people mention /l*vx or simply /l*v. Skipping the rest of the selections (o, i, c, e, w, a, r, m, u, p) leaves a lot of logging out. -Original Message- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010
