In C# I have often used System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch(). If you have
Visual Studio installed it pops up a box asking if you want to attach or
not.

I've created a .net-based custom UI using a class
extending
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Bootstrapper.BootstrapperApplication
(MBA). From within my code, I'm trying to get a list of the MSIs and their
features so that I can create a Feature Tree style control to display in my

For DebugBreak() to work you need to be attached to the windows installer
process. I usually added a call to MessageBox() that prints out the PID of
the current process just before DebugBreak(). Attach to that process id,
dismiss the message box, and the debugger stops and you can step into it.
No, it does not. Does that mean I have to create a version for every file in my
build? That's a lot of files!

Good points, John. I also follow(ed) that philosophy. When it comes to
immediate actions, there are lots of considerations that I did not mention.
The immediate action is a great place to put checks in for situations

Does your changed file have a version resource and, if so, did the version
increase in the updated file ?

I just read an article that made me realize I have an error in my pyro command.
It should read:
Pyro ADSPatch1.wixmsp -out ADSPatch1.msp -t ADSPatch ADSPatch1.wixmst

I am using visual studio to create the msi and wixpdb files for both versions.

Hi,
Yes tried number one with no success, just found DebugBreak() but am
wondering where you call it, do you know of any useful examples?

I am aware of 3 methods:
1. Set the environment variable MsiBreak to the name of the custom action
2. Call DebugBreak()
3. Use __asm { int 3 }
In all cases this will cause a dialog to appear which allows you to attach VS
to the process. Have you tried these?

I do use Lux, and I am expanding my use of it. Some of my custom actions

The VC90 files are installed to a SxS directory though, so how could

Thanks Bruce.
I looked at the CBS.log file to get some further information. And I
believe this is the reason why the reboot is occurring. This even happens
if I run the installation process 'As Administrator'. What are .rbf files,
and why can't they be deleted?
Thanks in advance.
