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?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
