Wow, that's a lot of custom actions. Most setups (should) have just a few if any. The limit of 16 is currently by design, although the tool should definitely handle the overflow more gracefully. I'll fix that.
If you have more than 16 custom actions, your options are: 1. Design immediate CAs to iterate over rows in a table or behave differently based on property data instead of the entrypoint name. Or for deferred CAs, schedule them with an immediate CA and pass parameters via CustomActionData (a common pattern). 2. Split your custom actions across multiple assemblies, each having less than 16. 3. Edit the headers for the SfxCA stub to reserve more space, and rebuild it. Additional entrypoint slots will need to be defined in EntryPoints.def and EntryPoints.h. -Jason- -----Original Message----- From: Tina Basinger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2008 7:39 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Debugging MakeSfxCA OK, this seems to be failing on the following line of code, which is line 424 in MakeSfxCA.cs. entryPoints.Keys.CopyTo(slotSort, slotCount - entryPoints.Count); It's failing because slotCount = 16 and entryPoints.Count = 38, so slotCount-entryPoints.Count is negative. Apparenlty sfxCA.dll only has 16 entry points? What does one do if you have more custom actions than that?
