I setup a Custom Action to call a simple command line utility I created that
installs an SSL certificate. It keeps failing so I took the contents of the log
file that have the Custom Action arguments and execute them manually in a
command window. Of course, the certificate installs correctly. I even changed
the account running the MSI to run as me so I could eliminate any
security/credentials issues and I get the same result; it fails when running
from the MSI and succeeds when running as me.
I then loaded up SysInternals procmon to compare the execution of this command
line utility in each scenario. All of the procmon parameters are identical!!
This includes command line args, user account executing the process and bitness
of the process. Note that the installer is running on Windows Server 2008 VM
server and in each case the command line is running a 64 bit process.
Here are the .wxs snippets for the custom action, and the resulting command
line:
<CustomAction Id="Set_InstallDITDaoSslCertificateArgs"
Property="InstallDITDaoSslCertificateArgs"
Value="/ce:add /cf:"[UTILITYPATH]UsSslCert.pfx"
/cpwd:[SSLCERTPWD] /cs:my /cl:localmachine /cid:"[SSLCERTID]""
Execute="immediate" />
<CustomAction Id="InstallDITDaoSslCertificateToPersonal"
Directory="UTILITYPATH"
ExeCommand=""[UTILITYPATH]InstallUtil.exe"
[InstallDITDaoSslCertificateArgs]"
Execute="immediate"
Return="ignore" />
"c:\RevProxy\Install\DAO\InstallUtil\InstallUtil.exe" /ce:add
/cf:"c:\RevProxy\Install\DAO\InstallUtil\UsSslCert.pfx"
/cpwd:ABB66C32-D9F9-6c9a-81C7-C998FF444C32 /cs:my /cl:localmachine /cid:"
AbzJc2FFmQeHJGAZrgU9bAjMGbX="
Of course, I have changed the sensitive data to protect the innocent...
Any idea why this could be failing inside the MSI? I am pulling my hair out at
this point.
Thanks.
