Hi,
I have a specific requirement. I am using a wix project and here I have a
dialog box asking for the web application name and port number. After entering
something when the user clicks on the next button I want to validate that the
port number should not be used by some other application and if it does the
setup should show a warning message to the user and asks him to enter a new
port.
I have created the wix project and the validation part is done through C#
project. I have created the C# project for custom actions project and
associated it with the wix project. The main problem that I am facing is that
now the installer get crashed when the user clicked the next button. I am not
sure where is the problem?
Here is the code for the dialog box that is calling the custom actions dll

The code for the custom actions project is something like this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller;
namespace WIX.IIS.Management
{
public class PortAvailabilityCheck
{
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult CheckIfPortAvailable(Session session)
{
try
{
session.Log("Begin PortAvailabilityCheck.CheckIfPortAvailable");
string host = session["MTK_SHAREPOINT_WEB_APPLICATION"];
string port = session["MTK_SHAREPOINT_PORT"];
if(String.IsNullOrEmpty(host))
throw new
ArgumentException("session[MTK_SHAREPOINT_WEB_APPLICATION] cannot be null or
empty");
if(String.IsNullOrEmpty(port))
throw new ArgumentException("session[MTK_SHAREPOINT_PORT]
cannot be null or empty");
List<WebSiteInfo> websites =
IISHelper.GetListOfDirectories(host, String.Empty, IISHelper.IISVirsion.IIS6);
bool portOccupied = false;
foreach (WebSiteInfo wsi in websites)
{
if (String.Compare(wsi.PortNo.ToString(), port,
StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0)
{
portOccupied = true;
break;
}
}
if (!portOccupied)
return ActionResult.Success;
else
return ActionResult.Failure;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
session.Log("Exception
PortAvailabilityCheck.CheckIfPortAvailable - {0}", ex.Message);
return ActionResult.Failure;
}
}
}
}
There is a seperate file for loading these DLLs in the project. The code for
that file is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
<Fragment>
<Binary Id="PropertyLoader.dll" SourceFile="..\..\SharedBinaries\Deployment
Infrastructure\CustomActions\PropertyLoader.dll" />
<Binary Id="ca.dll" SourceFile="..\..\SharedBinaries\Deployment
Infrastructure\CustomActions\ca.dll" />
**<Binary Id="WIX.IIS.Management.CA.dll"
SourceFile="..\..\SharedBinaries\Deployment
Infrastructure\CustomActions\WIX.IIS.Management.CA.dll" />**
<Binary Id="WixUI_Bmp_Banner" SourceFile="Bitmaps\bannrbmp.bmp" />
<Binary Id="WixUI_Bmp_New" SourceFile="Bitmaps\New.ico" />
<Binary Id="WixUI_Bmp_Up" SourceFile="Bitmaps\Up.ico" />
<Binary Id="WixUI_Ico_Info" SourceFile="Bitmaps\Info.ico" />
</Fragment>
</Wix>
The code written in bold or enclosed in ** Code ** is the main thing. I have
associated all for your reference.
I don't know what the issue is and where I am wrong?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay
