2011-09-01 Thread Wilson, Phil
The problem appears to be that BinaryKey specification. As the docs say "the custom action will not be installed into a target directory". You're not running it from your install directory - you're running it streamed out of the MSI file's binary table into some temp folder. It's not a type 18.

Re: [WiX-users] Does Wix 3.5 Light.exe support named bind paths

2011-09-01 Thread Rob Mensching
No, unfortunately, that's a weakness in the current documentation. We don't have a way to specify the "x" in "WiX v3.x". We renamed "BaseInputPath" to "BindInputPath" in WiX v3.6 (kept backwards compatibility) and allowed named bind paths. "base path" was a goofy name. On Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 5:1
