I have written a deferred CA which I need to manipulate a file that is
placed in the target-directory, at the end of the install.
What is weird is that the path is correctly evaluated in my logging
messages, but when I use the path to open a file, it says FILE NOT
FOUND, even though I KNOW the file is there.
I put in some extra logging, to enumerate the contents of the folder to
prove that the file DOES exist, and I got this surprising result:
CustomActionData:
APPCONFIGPATH = C:\Program
Files\Company\Client\Client.Windows.exe.config
SECTIONTOENCRYPT = secureAppSettings
Attempting to load 'C:\Program
Files\Company\Client\Client.Windows.exe.config', to encrypt section
'secureAppSettings'.
Configuration file 'C:\Program
Files\Company\Client\Client.Windows.exe.config' was not found, have you
scheduled the CA to execute after files are installed?
Enumerating files in
'C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller\3.0.
0.0__ce35f76fcda82bad'...
- Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll
As you can see, I am enumerating my target folder, but as soon as I
start operating on the filesystem (such as Directory.GetFiles()), the
.net runtime resolves all my queries to the GAC path where
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll lives!!!
What is up with that? Why am I being sandboxed like this??
