You're probably crashing. The Windows Installer has an exception handler to ensure that poorly written CustomActions don't hose the transaction.
You should look at other places in the code where WcaGetProperty() is used. You'll find the WiX code has very, very few hard code buffer sizes. Instead, dynamically sized strings are used everywhere. In your case, instead of defining WCHAR l_wcLicense[], you want, WCHAR* pwzLicense. Then you call like: WcaGetProperty(L"EULA", &pwzLicense); pwzLicense was allocated to the necessary string. Later, you should call "ReleaseStr(pwzLicense);" to free the string. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Magus Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 2:21 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Action Dll problem Not that my other problem has a solution yet, but I've move on to try to get something done. I am no having a problem trying to use the WcaGetProperty function. I have a property <Property Id ="EULA">[License]</Property> I call the function using WCHAR l_wcLicense[20000]; HRESULT hResult = WcaGetProperty(L"EULA", l_wcLicense); The program gets to the WcaGetProperty Line and then exits. anyone have any idea what this could be? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Custom-Action-Dll-problem-tf2042392.html#a5622613 Sent from the wix-users forum at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
