Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Debugging a DTF Managed Custom Action What I did when debugging some of my DTF code was put a call to Debugger.Launch() right at the beginning of my custom action. At that point, I could easily attach and step through the code with the debugger. ###################################### $_='^#(/||/@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@:^[-['^";@@@\\>])@.".

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Debugging a DTF Managed Custom Action There is a way using Environment variables to set a breakpoint, but I've found that to be more trouble than it's worth. You can put a call at the beginning of your CA to MessageBox.Show, and then when that pops up, you can attach to the process then. Make sure you attach to the CA managed process, not the installer process.
