In a verbose installation log, what is the resulting value of the TestCA property?

While i can access other directories via the CustomAction property (see example below). The SourceDir ActionData remains empty. I must be doing something wrong. I sure it's something silly, that only a wix newby can stumble over. Any help appreciated. Thanks My sample code: <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="TestCA.SetProperty" After="InstallInitialize"/> <Custom Action="TestCA" After="TestCA.SetProperty"/> </InstallExecuteSequence> <CustomAction Id="TestCA.SetProperty" Return="check" Property="TestCA" Value="SourceDir=[SourceDir];INSTALLDIR=[INSTALLDIR];AppDataFolder=[AppDataF older]"> </CustomAction> <CustomAction Id="TestCA" BinaryKey="CustomActionDll" DllEntry="TestMethod" Impersonate="no" Execute="deferred" Return="check"> </CustomAction> In the C# code: [CustomAction] public static ActionResult TestMethod(Session session) { session.Log("CustomAction TestMethod called!"); . try{ // empty string showMe = session.CustomActionData["SourceDir"]; // working, path string showMe = session.CustomActionData["AppDataFolder"]; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
